well i could be boring and say look at my signature line but.
1. .270win
2. .243win
3. 8x57js
4. .308win
5. 6.5x55se
the last 2 i dont have but if i wasnt buying a house id more than likly have. any way my .270 does almost what the 6.5x55se does. and my 8mm more than does what my .308 used to do. and even though i didnt know how to list my
6. knight wolverine .50 (150gr powder 210gr .44x.50 sabot) or the 348gr powderbelt. awsome power from a muzzleloader. and cheaper than handloading a .45-70.
been shooting it the last 2 months.

.223/5.56 -- obvious reasons (many mentioned above)
7.62x54R -- as powerful as .30-06, accurate, and ammo is cheap and abundant!
Any 6.5mm -- Can you say accurate?
.50 Beowulf -- Turns that pea-shooter into a BEAST
.50 BMG -- for when you absolutely, positively, have to kill something in the next county

These are my fistfull:
22LR
.222
.22-250
30/06
45/70
Every one has it's purpose and utility in my battery from pipsqueak to boomer. If 40 grains of lead at 1200 fps. won't do it, that 405 grainer at 1800 will.

30-06 (and any of the cartridges derived from this case)

In order of increasing diameter:
.22lr Good fun plinking, potting rabbits, grouse, etc.
3006 For most of the reasons already posted and I have harvested game and shot it for a long time.
338wm Little more punch for bigger critters and those that bite back. Extremely accurate.
416 Rigby For anything else...

5) 30-06, very popular for hunting, got us through ww2
4) .308/7.62x51, great for everything, nato standard proven performance
3) 8x57 mauser, have you ever shot one?
2) .338 lapua, designed to arrive at 1000meters with enough power left to go through 5 layers of body armor
1) 7.62x39. used by the ak which has been the most influential gun in modern history. many a rebel/freedom fighter use it and in some parts of the world owning an ak is a sign of manhood.
