I hunt squirrels, rabbits, groundhogs, and deer. I also plan to punch some paper and make some trips out west for mule deer, elk, and antelope. If it was your rifle battery, what would you change, and why? Would you leave it alone? Add to it? ...


Keep the ones you like, ditch the rest. Easy.

Or, from a practical standpoint, and based only on the cartridge (not the rifle), keep these - nothing you can do now you couldn't do with them:

.22LR
.223
.243 or .260

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.
