    I found 2207 too slow. I have been using 11.2gr of Lil Gun with a 40gr Sierra bullet and SPP for 3,100ft/sec. This was the most accurate load. After accuracy testing I checked for longevity: fired...

    New to shooting, but I got a .22 and a 30-06 so far. Might get a cheap 223 at some point. Those 3 choices should cover everything I want to put in my freezer.

    308win for me. Does it all to a certain degree. Not the best out there for certain aspects, ( long range ) but ammo is abundant. Not a fancy new cartridge but great for putting meat in the freezer.

    Since this thread started I have dropped the 7mmRM and added a 243win. Still very conventional.

    I pulled the trigger and got a 243 barrel not long after this post in 2022, bit of a thread revival here. Mate of mine shot one deer with it and now looks like it'll be turned into a 6.5x55 :XD:

    I am pretty plain. I don't have a large selection and have a genuine use for the calibers I have. But if I had to chose only one cartridge to do everything it would be the humble .223 I have...

    This is not correct, if it is a factory 6mm Remington, its a 1-9 twist or there about, the 6mm Remington was first called a .244 Remington and was 1-12 twist and wont stabilize over about 90gr...
