.30-06.
110 years old and better than ever with current bullet options.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

... but I didn't enjoy shooting the big magnums for long range sessions and didn't like paying for any of the ammo.
...cartridge because I wanted to shoot a bunch and still afford and enjoy it.
I knew the 270 Win was the one for me.
I love the cheap ammo, low recoil and on-game performance....really a perfect hunting round IME. WHY are you buying ammo? Reloading equipment would have amortized itself THEN you'd be $$$ ahead. Jerry

If in a hurry to make a decision with no time to gack about it i'd have to slum the ’06. Can't really see where it's not equal to others and better than most.
G Yep. There are a lot of cartridges that do certain things better than the 06 but none that do it all as well as the 06. That having been said if we're talking just NA I'd not feel handicapped by a .270, 7-08, or 308.

7/57 in a modern rifle, throated to user preference, hand-loaded with modern bullets and powders.

I've gone from one rifle, a 25-06 for everything to three now. A 30-06, 270 and a 243. For some reason the 30-06 always finds its way into my safe. I may pick up another 25-06 as well if I can find a reasonably price Ruger 77 MKII in a zytel stock.
