I always found these type questions/post interesting as I get to see some insight on what people would chose.

"Joe average" I would think most likely hunts deer and perhaps hogs now days (dependent on his location)as their big game. More than likely, he's not a hand loader nor likely to travel to hunt different states for different big game.

From working at big box gun store for about a year while under employed, they're looking to buy the cheapest rifles they can find, eg Savage Axis, etc. but have several of these cheap(er) deer rifle. They'll buy the cheapest ammo they can find, usually Rem Core-lockts or Win power points but only when they're on sale right before hunting season. One box usually last them a few years.

Compared to most here on the 'Campfire, where I consider most here to rifle & firearm loonies on the opposite end of the spectrum. Meant in good way smile

It's interesting to see their difference and opinions.
