Lotta folks lobbying for favorites.
Their choices aren't close to meeting the specs. Yup

I would pick the 88mm Remchester Express. It can take down a B-17 and also is good for grouse and black-tailed deer. Exactly^^^ About as good of an answer to this thread as any... The Peanut Gallery has spoken! Hush! No greater wisdom has been spoken unsolicited.

Browning was making 22/250 rifles 2 years before Remington stuck their name on it.

Lots of Remington haters here lol. 280 Rem very underappreciated round. Also the 35 Rem in a Marlin 336 was very nice too. 416 Remington Magnum had no flies on it either.

I might be argued that the 223 Rem is basically a cartridge that the military developed. But remember that the 5.56 x45 is just a tweaked 222 Remington mag that Rem developed for the military prototype AR15.
Would the 32-20, 38 & 44-40 Win still be chambered & sold if not for Cowboy Action shooting & Italian clones?

I was thinking recently about what makes a successful cartridge and how many Remington and Winchester had to their company. My definition of success would mean there are still new rifles available for purchase for this chambering and you can still buy factory ammo for it from more than one company.
Here is my list:
Remington
223 Remington
22-250 Remington
44 Remington Magnum
7mm Remington Magnum
Winchester
22 WMR
22 Hornet
243 Winchester
270 Winchester
30-30 Winchester
308 Winchester
300 Winchester Magnum
350 Legend
357 Magnum
What others have I forgotten or would you add to the list? Fixed it. https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/the-357-magnum-history-performance/Oops! Looks like Winchester has the better legacy for sure. Lots of cooks stirred that stew, among them Phil Sharpe, but that article gives the credit for the cartridge design to Winchester.
What fresh Hell is this?

While I sure can't argue with lots of the choices, I sure wish that the 7mm-08 would get at least an honorable mention for a chambering that should stay around for a while. I know that it is popular here on the Fire, but I've never seen such a blatant disregard for stocking it on the loaded factory ammunition shelves. I was at our local Cabelas yesterday and they have four well stocked shelves with .308 ammunition and lots of other loaded cartridge choices. Know what they have for 7mm-08? Four boxes of Hornady 139 grain Whitetail. That's it!!!
My other auto is a .45

Pappy, I think I got confused with the 357 Remington Maximum. Thank you for setting the record straight.
