It is often asked what would your battery consist of with three, four, five or whatever number of rifles. I got to thinking what would be folks favorite cartridge be in a given caliber. Let's use the following calibers, an even dozen, and pick your favorite round for each. Either factory or wildcat, whichever is your choice.

.224
.244
.257
.263
.277
.284
.308
.323
.338
.358
.366
.375

If some bullets happen to be a tad smaller or bigger, than what is listed, such as a 9mm which is really .356 instead of .358, put the cartridge to the closest one. I am most curious what some of the answers will be.

Many thanks

OK I'll start.

I am finding that one of the military versions of many of these calibers are awfully practical and useful. Even so.......

.224- 218 Bee
.244- 6mm Rem (gave it away as it had paid for itself so well I was beginning to owe.)
.257- 257 Roberts (works so well for my wife)
.263- 6.5X55 Mauser
.277- perhaps WSM since it seems like the only WSM on new ground
.284- 7mm-08 is so practical, but I will say Mauser even though I have yet to fire one.
.308- 30-06
.323- 8X68S -(why is this one so overlooked?)
.338- 340 Weatherby
.358- 358 Win since I have it. 358 Norma looks awfully good though
.366- 9.3X62 tickles me to look. Haven't got it though so: 45-70
.375- H&H is practically boring. The 375/350 Rem Mag is fun.

Mostly just had to pick what I have and know. Thanks for some fun.

Thanks to all who posted on this thread. It was even more enjoyable than I thought it would be. I knew with such a great array of experience that it would be interesting as well as eye opening. It would be even more interesting to hear how many different cartridges folks have experimented in the different calibers some time.

I must admit a couple caught me completely off guard, the 6mm Lee Navy and the 276 Pedersen.

Thanks again for all your input.

.338 - .338 Win Mag
.358 - .358 Norma
.366 - 9.3 x 74R
.375 - .375 H&H

Pretty boring answers, probably but I like fairly standard offerings. Now, I haven't owned all of those YET but I'm getting there. Missing the .243 Win, the 8mm Rem Mag (probably won't ever bother even though it's a cool round), the 9.3x74R (cool in the new #1S), and the .375 H&H which I'm sure I will someday have to have.

I only have 4 out of 5 cartridges /rifles that I own.

.223 - 55gr, A Mini-14, and couple of AR-15's.
.308 - 180gr, Remington and Sako .30-06's.
.338 WM - 275gr, old Winchester M70.
.458 WM - 500gr, old Ruger M77.
.50 BMG - Still working on getting that one!

Yeah I know boring.

Mine is short and sweet. My rifle battery would consist of three to five cartridges to keep. It means that i would skip all cartridges other than the ones posted below:

.22LR (Ruger 10/22 because of the after-market parts to choose from)
.270
.338WM (all around gun)
.416 (just in case)

6 mm Rem
264 Win
350 Rem

How did I miss this one? (Must protest, however, on having to pick ONE round in each bore size. This is most oppressive.)--
