JimT Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: ALL AROUND FAVORITE CALIBRE??? I would not really call a 22-250 an all around gun. I think that the 30/06 is the perfect all around gun, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longislandhunter Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: ALL AROUND FAVORITE CALIBRE??? My favorite caliber to shoot is the .243 winchester, but for an "all around caliber" I'd vote for the 30-06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James7xChamp3 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: ALL AROUND FAVORITE CALIBRE??? My vote would go to the 30/06 also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kooter Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: ALL AROUND FAVORITE CALIBRE??? since I only have one rifle now, I would have to say my 25-06. Haven't killed anything with it,but look forward to in the seasons to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bronco_mudder Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: ALL AROUND FAVORITE CALIBRE??? My favorite cal for hunting would have to be 7mm Rem. mag., but I'd have to pick the 45/70 as my favorite cal. to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron buck Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: ALL AROUND FAVORITE CALIBRE??? My all around gun has become my Remington 7600 in 35 whelen. A bit of an odd choice but it is the rifle that has served me well & it points so naturally for me that it like an extension of my arm. It never lets me down. And that confidence has been backed up by some great shots on game. If I had to pick what I'd consider to be the greatest all around caliber ever my vote would go to the 30-06.

snapper Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: ALL AROUND FAVORITE CALIBRE??? I'd say my .300 winmag...carry it for deer, bear, and even killed a yote with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Re: ALL AROUND FAVORITE CALIBRE??? I don't really have a favorite all around caliber. I have a favorite caliber for varmints and thats .22 caliber. Sitting behind an accurate .223 or .22-250 and making some red mist is a great day of shooting fun. For deer I guess I have more .30 calibers than anything else so I will have to say its my favorite deer caliber. Whether its a .308 Win, 30-06 or even the 300 Weatherby Magnum, it will serve me well for most of my big game hunting. My favorite dual purpose caliber would have to be the .24 caliber. The .243 Win or the 6mm Rem work very well on varmints as well as deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnf Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Re: ALL AROUND FAVORITE CALIBRE??? I would have to say 243, just because that's the gun that I seem to be the most accurate with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaCoyote Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Re: ALL AROUND FAVORITE CALIBRE??? Hmmm!! .260 .270 22-250 30-06 .308 .350 rem mag I guess it just depends what I'm hunting and what gun is in my hands at the time. If I had to make a choice it would be one I don't even have. 7mm rem mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Re: ALL AROUND FAVORITE CALIBRE??? Right now of the guns I own it is my .270. Think that may possibly change when I get a 30 .06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Re: ALL AROUND FAVORITE CALIBRE??? My main rifle is a 25-06 but if i had to vote for the best all around rifle for North America i would choose the 30-06 todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

too_pointer Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Re: ALL AROUND FAVORITE CALIBRE??? Mine right now is my .270. I have had a 30-06, .284, 30-30, .243. They are all great catridges, but the .270 does everything, plus the recoil is pretty mild for me too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wthomaslee Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Re: ALL AROUND FAVORITE CALIBRE??? For me it would be a .30 cal. hands down. Just because of bullet selection. 284.cal isn't too bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bonemass Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Re: ALL AROUND FAVORITE CALIBRE??? tough choice for ALL around caliber.I would have to go with my 308.I can load it light for varmints or heavy for big game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Re: ALL AROUND FAVORITE CALIBRE??? Ror "all-around" usefulness on game animals, the .300 Win Mag (7mm STW a close 2nd). For the "all-around" most fun, the .220 Swift. For "all-around" the most likely one I am to have "hanging around", the 10mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
