30-30 and 45-70.

Could take anything with both. If I had to pick just one, it would be the 45-70.

I see that. 450 Bushmaster has really taken off in popularity since it has been chambered in bolt action rifles.

I see people are still posting 45-70 and 30-06.

Might as well round out the list of U.S. military cartridges entirely with .58 rimfire, 50-70, 6mm Lee, 30-03, etc.

I know it’s 4 but math is hard when you’re a Fudd.

Not sure if any of these are “Fudd” but they don’t garner much attention in today’s 6.5 CM dominated world.

I don't have any guns in. 270 or any other popular Fudd cartridges. I do enjoy lever guns.

@texas_mustang_01 If you are anywhere near Corpus, drop me a PM. I found a very nice Winchester mdl 70 in 35 Whelen in a pawn shop there. They wanted $1200 but I'm sure they will deal since it been there since September.

Well since I cant say 308 Win. since it's my main deer rifle I'll say my next 3 favorites

7mm-08
35Rem
300 WM

6.5x55mm Swedish

Posted: 12/1/2021 3:46:34 AM EDT

[#37]

For me it'd be one of the .33s for the first (such as .318 Westley-Richards or .338 Sabi).

Another would be 9.3X62.

Third would be .460 G&A Magnum, with an honorable mention to the larger-caliber (but otherwise ballistically and dimensionally similar) .505 Burns.

With a .33-cal., 9.3mm, and .45-.50 cal., plus the available military cartridges, shotguns, and rimfire, there's really not much of anything in the hunting realm that you can't do. The first two will fit in a standard action and have the same case head as the .30-06, .308, and most of the Mauser cartridges.

7mm Remington Magnum is a heck of a cartridge and can still hold its own.

7mm Rem Mag is cool. The original juiced-up ,sub-.30 cal, ultra-flat-shooting cartridge (for its day, anyways) before trendy newer stuff like the 6.5 Creedmoor came around.

Hornady Superformance in 7mm Rem Mag pushes a 139gr SST (ballistic coefficient of .486!) at 3240fps. That's fuckin' spicy.

7mm Remington Magnum is a heck of a cartridge and can still hold its own.

I'd probably ditch the belt and go with a 7mm Brenneke if I wanted a 7 in the ballpark velocity-wise. Venerable old cartridge.

7mm STW (8mm necked down to 7mm, iirc) is best 7mm.

It kills critters dead.

It’s awesome. When your shoot something with a STW it definitely knows it’s been shot… hell, you might be able to see daylight through the hole before the animal drops.

The recoil isn’t what I’d recommend for your 12 year old daughter, though.
