What say the masses?


"What cartridge / bullet combo has the most for least?"

It depends on what you value most. There is no one right answer as it is a subjective opinion.

Least recoil goes to my Remington Model 24 that I inherited from Granddad. It shoots .22 Shorts.

Velocity goes to my .22-250, which hits over 4,000fps.

Least drift probably goes to my 7mm RM.

Least drop is probably the 7mm RM as well.

Best ass, don't know but for sure it isn't on one of my rifles...

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
