I like .270 and .30-30. Since those are taken, I'll say .348 Winchester, .358 Winchester, and .35 Whelen. The .25-06 would be up there, too.

7mm-08 extremely efficient cartridge that is better suited to elk and moose than 6.5 creed.
7mm mag. With a 175 gr partition will kill anything in North America. Get a fast twist barrel and you can shoot 195 gr bullets to whatever range you desire. 25-06 Great for varmints, antelope and deer |

30-06, 6.5x55 and 25-06 are my favorite. If I could only have 1 hunting cartridge for North American game, it would be the 30-06 with no second thoughts.

Quote HistoryQuoted: OP: What are your three favorite fudd cartridges for hunting? These are cartridges that were never intended to be military service cartridges, but were 100% developed for the commercial civilian market GD:     yep, didn't read very well did I? but then again, with those rules wouldn't the 30-06, 7mm Mauser, 45-70, .308 and a whole bunch of other calibers be disqualified? Pretty much any old "fudd" cartridges would be ex-military or made from military cartridges. So, pretty much, I'll stick with .35 Remington. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Many stated don't allow a 30/30 for deer hunting. Why is that so? Reading comprehension in this thread has been atrocious, with people listing .308, 30-06, 30-40, 45-70, and other military cartridges. To answer the OP's actual question: .257 Roberts is a great sporting only cartridge, and versatile enough for both woodchucks and deer (and upwards a bit from whitetails). .220 Swift is neat just for its history, and still being about the fastest common .22 centerfire. 16ga, as far as I know, never had a military application unlike 12ga, and is a great shotgun choice. .22 Hornet is a classy, readily available choice for small game and woodchucks. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. |

Hunting fudds is not permitted in my AO
At this point in time 30-06 is a fudd hunting cartridge. If 30-06 and 308 are 'military derived' then shouldn't that disallow their necked down variations? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 30-30 .22 LR 12 gauge Those would cover anything you'd hunt around here. I agree. Actually with the right loads and good shot placement that arsenal would cover most of the world, wouldn't be ideal but it is feasible. |

.22LR, 45-70, 22-250. We don't do necked cartridges in Ohio for deer so about the only thing getting shot around these parts with a rifle are varmints. Small game is best with a .22. I shoot hogs and coyotes with 5.56. Nothing says "sit down and shut up" to a deer quite like a 45-70.

30-30 - because every fudd has a lever gun chambered in it
45-70 - see above, plus every fudd thinks they are part cowboy 30-06 - because every fudd has one and swears it will drt anything in north america, and you can stop in an asian corner store and find anything from 100 grain loads all the way up to 8000 grain loads for it. Because who hasn't gone hunting and had to make an emergency stop for ammo?????

Not an easy question to answer. I'm not a fudd although I do hunt. I've never figured out how hunting became fudd-like. Also, I can't respond with .30-06 so that leaves out the top hunting round of all time.
So that leaves me with: 1 - .450 Bushmaster. This will drop anything that moves on this continent. 2 - .30-30. You can't argue with only-god-knows how many deer this round has killed. 3 - .270. See #2. |

.375 H&H .458 Win Mag The last gets a bad rap, but you can't deny it's impact on the hunting world. Winchester filled the gap with ammo & cheap mass produced rifles when companies like Kynoch stopped producing the big bores. Combined with cheap air travel, it opened Africa to the common man. |

7mm Rem Mag qualifies as a fudd. That’s probably my only one. Everything else is hipster or a military cartridge.
But honorable mention! … To the .375 H&H mag! Love that one. Dangerous game fudd.

Again, 30-06 and 308(aka 7.62NATO) are military rounds.
Two calibers: 220 Swift: fun, accurate, low recoil and fuddy as hell. .257 Roberts: again, fun, accurate, on the lower side of recoil. Can take small game, no problem. |
