In terms of usefulness....

.22LR
.30-06
..223 Rem/.5.56 NATO
.308W

Just MHO, YMMV.


The usefulness of the .223/5.56 and .30-06 are up for discussion, but I'll stick with the .30--06 first.

Even though the .30-06 is not a short action...

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.
