Thread: Is the .223 the most versatile cartridge?

The correct answer to the original question has already been given. But I'm gonna give it again.

I currently own .223, .243, 6.5mm, .308. I've owned a few others in the past, .25, 7mm, .204... others I've forgotten.

I'll give you some clues...

Which cartridge in the above list is the original crossover multipurpose do-it-all, designed from the get go as a genuine deer / varmint cartridge?

Released by Winchester in 1955.

Inspired by Warren Page's .240 Super Pooper.

Took the shooting world by storm.

Popular from the day it was released to the present day, selling hundreds of thousands every year, chambered by every major manufacturer.

I'm getting a stiffy...

It's the two for free ear burrowing rat gun of course.

There can be only one "most versatile", and that's it. Versatility is its middle name.

No point arguing.
