Pick one caliber between .223 and .30-06

I'm tempted to say 6mm Rem because I have one but I believe I would have to run out and buy a 7mm-08.
Shoot, maybe I will anyway. I've heard a lot of good things about it and very little negatives. But then I would need new dies, new scope, etc.

So many choices, so little time.
 
I would go with the 7-08. I have become a big fan of .284 diameter. Being able to reload with different weights then the normal 120-140 grain loads off the shelf of course.
 
"This is not a practical exercise, nor is there any intended purpose behind the question. I'm just curious."

I actually did this...

Although I like to reload I was spending far too much time reloading and not enough on my real hobby, SHOOTING.

For me the .223R and .308W were "givens".

I've discovered the 6.5mm cartridges to be so versatile, I needed nothing else and SOLD ALL rifles other rifles (still have a 7X57 Mauser I plan to sell).

Replaced ALL of these other rifles/calibers/CARTRIDGES with a pair of 6.5mm cartridges.

The 6.5 Grendel for the AR-15 and the .260R for NON AR-15 rifles.


Doing this worked so good I did the same over .308W. This time the .45-70 was a "given" and sold everything in between.

Replacing all of these with a single cartridge, the .338-06.


There are "exceptions" to every rule. For me those are the M-1/1903 in .30-06, an Egyptian Hakim and K98 in 8X57mm and if I ever find one, a Savage 99 in .358W!


Figure with the .223R for varmints, I can hunt anything in the Western hemisphere with just these 2 rifles!

If I ever make it back to Africa to do more than just work I would be well armed for anything except dangerous game...

Not clear on the rules... Sooo

.300win mag, now I usually don't buy into the whole magnum thing but I likes me some .300 win mag
 
I'm going to go with .243. I own a few rifles that number a couple of .22's, an AR in .223, a .325 short mag, a .450 Marlin and a pair of .243's. The .243's get more use than any of the others.
 
"^^^I see the above votes for .308 and .30-06. Apparently, someone needs reading comprehension classes:confused:"

Either that are they think they are so smart they don't even have to READ the OP in the first place.:rolleyes:
