here in Canada in the Boreal forest, I see the proponderance of hunting rifles as 30-06, 300WM/ 308/ 7mm mag. The 270 would probably make #5. Most everyone uses the 30-06 and if you don't, it is considered you are suspect in your choice. In western Canada,things aren't all that different,except the 30-06 is not nearly so dominant.Of the six people that I hunt with,every single one of them uses a 7mmremmag,while I am the odd man out shooting the 280 AI.Overall,the 7mmremmag,30-06 and the various 300 magnums are by far the most common where I hunt.

you guys have it about right
Iv'e shot them all under all circumstances;
My Pics:
30-06
270 win
22-250
(no .223 rounds) they are for maiming humans: NOT FOR SHOOTING GAME!! Not that anyone mentioned shooting game, although I'd bet more animals are shot each year with the 223/5.56 than all the other rounds combined. Also, the 22-250 is a 223 caliber round, sooooooo, what ever did you mean?

Disregard the rocket scientist ... the Thread's title is BEST SELLING calibers (chamering), not "What does mw0248 thinks should be the best selling". Shame to see him buying into Nancy's, Bab's & O's propaganda. I really doubt the 22-250 out sells the 223 or a host of other center fire rifles.

George,
It's 11 hours earlier here, so when I head to the room each night I have to either log on to the campfire, or watch Armed Forces Network, which is mostly Oprah and football.
BTW, thanks for taking the peeps to the range. They both report having a fun time.

My pleasure ... I really tried to get'em to the hill ... but schedules didn't seem to cooperate.
BTW ... I told them, if anything comes up that Mrs. W. can't handle such as simple mechanical issues and such, I would be more than happy to lend a hand if at all possible.
How many months do you have left over there? Be back for ground squirrels?
