I've got as many .30 cal rifles on hand as all others put together, on most any day. Historically though, most of my hunting has been done with a .243 winchester, and I've gone through more barrels for that cartridge than any other.

My overall cartridge of choice today though is the 25-06. I only own one and it is handy, accurate, and light enough at 7.5 lbs.
