I have a lot of favorites, but based on what I grab to hunt with the most, 7x57 Mauser.

It is a tie between the last one I shot, and the next I plan to buy.

For what reason, I just can not get away from my 30-06. Eventho I have a few other calibers both smaller and larger --- the 30-06 is my go-to gun when things get serious. It suppose I have the most confindence in its ability to get the job done!

My favorite cartridge is the 45/70 Govt. It's a fun round to handload and shoot. It also has a lot of good history and mystique.
But if I was limited to one cartridge for the rest of my life it would be the 300 Win. It is probably the most versatile cartridge on the planet. The only animals I wouldn't use it on would be African DG, but I don't plan to do that kind of hunting anyways.

.30-06 for "sentimental favorite"
Recently, I've been using more of the 6.5x55 and .257 Bob, though.
I liked (and can appreciate) the answer that went something like: "my favorite varies between the last one I purchased and the next one I'm going to buy". :-)

I'll say the 308 Win. This can cover the all around and the favorite. I know it sounds boring but it doesn't recoil, shoots accurately, isn't heavy, low maintenance, etc. If I want the speed and need to hold a different rifle, then I'll grab my 204 and shatter the sound barrier and detonate a few dozen varmints from time to time.
