8mm Mauser. I hunt with a scoped K98.

[#2]

I don’t hunt but I like .30-06, .45/70 and .308. Not sure if those are considered FUDD cartridges but I like them.

Today I’ve learned that people don’t read past the thread title before responding (read second sentence of OP).

I’ve also learned that the definition of a Fudd cartridge is any cartridge that can be shot from any or pistol rifle.

I’m changing my list:

6.5 PRC
300 PRC
.375 Hammer

Posted: 11/30/2021 8:25:34 AM EDT

[#4]

.243
.222 for varmints
7mm Rem mag for distance

Posted: 11/30/2021 8:25:50 AM EDT

[#5]

30-30, 30-06 and (7 mag, .444 in a tie)

Posted: 11/30/2021 8:26:14 AM EDT

[#6]

12ga
Only deer I've shot with a rifle I used a .270 and it did the job. I have two .30-30s but their not legal for deer hunting in IA.

Most common 3 that I actually use for Fudding purposes.

22LR
.44 magnum
12 gauge

Posted: 11/30/2021 8:30:29 AM EDT

[#8]

.22LR
.30-06 Springfield
12 gauge 3” chamber

It I could add three more, it would be

5.56x45mm
6.5 Creedmore
.35 Whelen

Now except for the 12 gauge and .22LR, I can reload using one kind of powder. Reloder15.

30-30, .270, .25-06, .257 Roberts, 7mm STW, .243, 6.5CM and 6.5G is growing on me. Honorable mention to .22 hornet and k-hornet

.22LR, .22mag, and .17HMR are all fun too

Posted: 11/30/2021 8:31:51 AM EDT

[#10]

People don’t read. OP doesn’t read. Quality ammo box. Two calibers listed.

I like his list tho.

Posted: 11/30/2021 8:32:47 AM EDT

[#11]

30-06

.223

270

Posted: 11/30/2021 8:34:31 AM EDT

[#12]

243, 7mm Remington Magnum, and 270.

In reality it’s 243, 7 mag, and 30-06, but the aught six was a military service cartridge first so didn’t qualify.

Posted: 11/30/2021 8:35:46 AM EDT

30-30, 308 and 30-06

.30-30, .260 Rem and even though it was developed as a military cartridge I felt compelled to include .30-06 since everyone claims it’s a Fudd round because it’s not 5..56 or.308.

Posted: 11/30/2021 8:41:37 AM EDT

[#16]

270 Win., 30-30 Win., and 22LR. I can take any legal game at any reasonable distance in the Northeast using those three cartridges.

30-30 - took my first deer with one....

243 - taken a bunch of deer with one - very sweet shooter....

50 cal muzzleloader - they are just just to play with...

Red

Mine:
7mm-08- Rem M7 Go-to rifle for deer
280 AI- custom M70 choice for bigger deer, elk, caribou and longer range hunting
9.3 x 62- CZ 550 American for bears and moose

Posted: 11/30/2021 8:53:03 AM EDT

Far and away, .243 Winchester. If I was going after bigger game, then .270 Winchester. I use a lot of .357 magnum on hogs from a rifle, but that's more pest control than actual hunting.

Posted: 11/30/2021 8:54:02 AM EDT

12 gauge
.30-06
and
.223

During the great ammo blight under Obama, I noticed that there was a supply of 30-30 at the Walmarts.

so I bought a lever action 30-30

now the ammo blight seems to affect soft point hunting rounds and there is a supply of FMJ military rounds.

My top 3 non military based Fudd rounds

Fudd round 1
30-30

Fudd round 2?
450 Bushmaster
I can actually find this in stock

I would go next to 300 aac Blackout,
but that is a military round
The Amish are running blackout for deer in their ARs
Clip clop clip clop, thhhump thhhhump thhhhump

Fudd round 3?
I killed my first buck with 250-3000
its a 3000 fps, 87 grain round

243,257 weatherby,270, and 7X57. I know that's 4 but this is AMERICA after all!

20g
.22 magnum
6.5 Grendel

Posted: 11/30/2021 9:18:48 AM EDT

[#28]

.300 Savage. It was near the ballistics of a 30-06 but in a much smaller package, designed for a lever action rifle

It was the .308 before .308 was invented for the military.

Then the 17 HMR, and the .22LR

Posted: 11/30/2021 9:20:40 AM EDT

300 WSM, 444 Marlin, 22 mag!

30-06 IS A MILITARY CARTRIDGE. HOLY FUCK.

For me, 30-30 is number one per OPs question. Nothing else, really.

Posted: 11/30/2021 9:24:56 AM EDT

[#32]

Only one for me..once I went to 300rum, the rest of the rifles went down the road..been killing shit with it since its release in 1999....

I built a .280 Ackley Improved (SAAMI version) a few years ago and love it. It's the full equivalent of a 7mm Remington Magnum factory load (and then some, with certain loads), with slightly less recoil.

I always thought a 6mm Remington AI, a 6.5x57AI, or a 7x57AI, would be neat cartridges (all based on the 7x57 case). I just hate having to form brass, which I did for my first .280AI brass but no longer have to do now.

Then why even post? Sit back and let the carnivores speak.

30-30
.22 LR
12 gauge

Those would cover anything you'd hunt around here.

Posted: 11/30/2021 9:30:47 AM EDT

I hunt short range brush. All Marlins.

.35 Remington-today’s pick.

30/30-my first love.

.444 Marlin-if bears are in order.

Am I the first to say Krag?

Lots of .30-40 in the field back in the day. I got my first deer with a 12ga, but my second deer and every year for over 15 years, my hunting companion was a sporterized Krag. The action is second only to a K31. Amazingly slick - great woods gun.

12ga
.30-40
.308

Posted: 11/30/2021 9:34:40 AM EDT

[#38]

220swift, 22-250, 22 hornet.

Posted: 11/30/2021 9:35:00 AM EDT

[#39]

Does 6.5 Grendel count? 123gr SSTs are awesome on whitetail.

Otherwise I'm going to say .30-30 and .243 with the caveat that I live in MS where our deer don't get much bigger than large dogs.

Posted: 11/30/2021 9:36:10 AM EDT

.280 REM
.338 Win Mag
.22WMR

Posted: 11/30/2021 9:36:30 AM EDT

Everything I own or have ever owned was once .mil cartridge. Except for the .44 mag lever gun that I have never shot.

Posted: 11/30/2021 9:37:17 AM EDT

[#42]

.35 Whelen

Posted: 11/30/2021 9:37:19 AM EDT

270

30-30

12GA

Posted: 11/30/2021 9:37:46 AM EDT

[#44]

Well since I actually read the OP

12 gauge…..most versatile choice that can kill anything that has 4 legs or flys

.270…..cuz it is legendary in the halls of all things hunting

30-30……cuz it’s probably the most prolific lever gun cartridge ever chambered

But those aren’t my personal go-to for hunting cuz I use .30-06

Posted: 11/30/2021 9:38:04 AM EDT

[#45]

243
7mmmag
12ga

Posted: 11/30/2021 9:38:40 AM EDT

[#46]

.300 H&H, .375 H&H, and .450-400 NE 3".

Posted: 11/30/2021 9:43:08 AM EDT

[#47]

I dig the .22-250 as a groundhog round.

Hmmm what do i have at home...

30-06 is mil
7.62x39, 45, 51, and 54r are all mil
5.56 is mil
8 mauser is mil
6.5 swiss i think is mil
.22LR is sorta mil

6.8 Spc isnt, but I havent hunted with it.

7 and 8 rem mag arent, but I also havent hunted with them.

6.5CM gets a lot of love here.

My grandfather used to slay rabbits with a 16 gauge sxs shotgun decades ago.

So lets go with .22-250, 6.5 CM, and 16 gauge.

Reading is fundamental, he said no military cartridges which leaves out 30/06, 308, 303, 45/70, etc.

My choices: 30/30
25/06
300 Win Mag

Posted: 11/30/2021 9:44:29 AM EDT

[#49]

This thread once again proves that gd only reads titles and maybe the first sentence of an op.

270 win
30-30
22lr?

That’s it. Everything else I own is some country’s current or former cartridge.

Posted: 11/30/2021 9:52:15 AM EDT

[#50]

30-30, 243 and 308

Winchester 94 and Savage 99...
