I don't know for sure. But if they are tied in 1st place with me, the one in 2nd place would be the 30-06, and it's probably at 25% of what I have killed with either the 270 or the 375.

And the cartridge used by the vast majority of kangaroo shooters (Professional Trappers) in Australia is the 223 Remington topped with a 55 gr projectile, with Nosler bt being very popular. These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

They were the first 2 that I did a good bit of hunting with before I got into collecting. Since then I've been trying out new cartridges each year so rarely more than 1 kill per cartridge.

We are the children of the "greatest generation" who fought the great war and thus became enamored with the "odd-6". I get it, it's like the Ford F-150, the Plymouth slant six engine, boringly efficient.

Not sure if my numbers are 100% right, but it was fun. Thanks for playing!!! CowboyTim Interesting how this compares to die sales. This is 2012 info from RCBS RCBS 2012 Top 10 Rifle Reloading Die Sales By Chuck Hawks Curious about the popularity of centerfire rifle cartridges among reloaders? There usually isn't a dramatic change from year to year; it is more like a glacial movement. Regardless, here is RCBS's 2012 sales list (first published in 2013) for their top 10 best selling rifle reloading die sets: .223 Remington .308 Winchester .30-06 Springfield .243 Winchester .270 Winchester .300 Winchester Magnum .22-250 Remington 7mm Remington Magnum .30-30 Winchester .25-06 Remington Although missing the top 10, .338 Winchester Magnum remains the best selling of all medium bore cartridge reloading dies. The most interesting changes on this RCBS die sales list are the .308 surpassing the .30-06 as the number one big game hunting cartridge among reloaders and the .300 Win. Mag. passing the 7mm Rem. Mag. Since all .300 Magnums indisputably kick too hard for most hunters to handle without flinching, the latter is particularly deplorable. I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all. Jack O'Connor

I find my .300 Win Mag, easier to shoot than my .270, despite being a half pound lighter, the .300 fits me a bit better. Could be the longer barrel on the .300 has something to do with it too the weight is a bit more toward the front(although I don't claim to be any kind of expert on what makes for more felt recoil).
