The all-around hunting calibre?

[prosper]

I've also got a 30-06, but that's my dirty little secret. I rarely use it

 

[todbartell]

30 caliber is best all-around

30-06 cartridge probably is the best IMO

 

[350 Mag]

Most popular...30-06, 308, 270

If I had to choose just one rifle...it would be 7mm Rem Mag, Popular, accurate, flat shooting.

 

[BCWILL]

As much as it pains me to admit this..........
The 30-06 is without a doubt the "Best" all around cartridge for the NA Hunter

 

[rlg]

308 or 30-30 for me...

 

[MTM]

338 is like an 06 but with 250s.

 

[John Y Cannuck]

You said caliber, so I'll say 30

 

[Turbo]

I'd have to go with 30 06, even though I don't own one.

.30-06

The venerable .30-06.... is quite capable of taking anything on the planet and probably has.

 

[troutseeker]

All around? .300WM. But life is too short to have only one caliber...

This is easy pick.
.30-06 in my opinion is the one.
It has been holding its grounds for so long.

Thanks a lot for the info, much appreciated.

I was thinking 30.06, but wanted your feedback. How does 30.06 compare in price to 30-30 and 308? I don't hand load, and I go through a ton of ammo so the cheaper the better.

Well said Claude!

My vote goes to the .308win.

 

[todbartell]

going through alot of ammo and not handloading?

I apologize if this topic has already come up a million times, my searches gave me nothing.

I don't know if it exists, but I'm looking for your guys' opinion of the most versatile hunting round. One that is enough for a bear, a deer or a moose, available at any shop, economical and accurate.

If you could only have one, what would it be?

7mm Remington Magnum.....shoots as flat as a 270 and hits as hard or harder than a 30-06...available in almost any rifle....ammo available where ever ammo is sold....kicks no more than a 30-06......what's not to like?

 

[Silverado]

See...? Everybody knows it's the 30-06...

Same price guns, same price ammo. Skip the 30-30, go .308 or '06.

Can't believe it took to the end of the third page for somebody else to post my choice the 300 Win Mag. Very flat and hits hard.
