Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

This is just my opinion not based on stats. I'd think the 308 is/was ahead of the 06 because of the AR platform rifles ! Make sense ?

Edit to amend: that list by Hawks is of REloaders not necessarily hunters. By that I mean reloaders are shooters and don't have to be hunters.

I'm with you Reloader28 I have owned exactly 1 and that was for 1 year and then off it went although it did account for 1 deer my nephew shot with it using reduced loads.

I think the 308 and 300WM get used an awful lot for competition shooting. That would explain their higher die sales.

30-06, followed closely by 308.
That's assuming that the topic is centerfire rifle cartridges. I've taken a lot of turkeys with my 12 ga.

.270, it was my only centerfire rifle from 1972 until .2005.
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

A few years back, I got the brass bucket from my club's sight in days. This was in Pa. and the weekend before buck season started. 30-06 was far and away the most prevalent empty in it. 243 was second (about half as many) then the 270 and 30-30. 308, 6mm Rem, 260, 35 Rem and others were there but not in any great numbers.
It's not definite numbers because it might take more shots to sight in a 30-06 than a 243 and many folks kept their brass but the trend was pretty solid, 30-06 was Numero Uno. Seems to me they had about 80 guns come through the line.

30-06. I am interested in almost all of them except the 7 Rem., the .243, and the short mags. My disinterest is more from personal rather than practical reasons.

270 probably, but then I wore the barrel out of a 257Rbts XTR Fwt too back in those days... and only stopped shooting the Rbt's when WW stopped making White Box 100gr Silvertips and never could find anything to replace them with ...and neither could my gunsmith who owned his own range even with his moly coated stuff that was always his sure cure.

For me it's a .270. It and an old 30-06 were my only centerfire rifles from around 1978 until 2006 when I came across the Campfire.

By now I'd have to say the .223 and its derivative the .223AI
The 7x57 a close second to the little guns.

30-06 followed by the .338wm. Neither make it out of the safe much anymore. Use a lot more mild rounds these days. Just took my 62nd elk a couple weeks ago with a 6.5 cm.
