For me it is:
6X45 7-08AI
I can load either of them up or down to kill anything I want to.

270 WSM and 308 Win are my pics. Although I’d probably seap the 308 for a 358 if my shoulder could handle it. FWIW, if you can handle a 270 WSM, you can handle a 358 Win. My picks: 270 WSM 7.62x39

It is hard to imagine (outside of maybe coastal brown bears) what I would feel unprepared for at reasonable ranges if all I had in my cabinet was a .223 and a 7mm-08. I’d happily hunt a coastal brown with a 7-08 if I were so inclined. It would work fine I’d imagine and I’d venture a guess that it has many times over No argument from me. I am sure lots have been killed with even less potent rounds.

We named them all...so the answer is all of them.. But we have forgot one everyone names there favorite but the one that probably diserves the title as the greatest is the good ole 30-30 We don't think of it as a conventional short action carterage but it actually is...

When asked while carrying my 300 WSM's I simply respond with "308".

I've done a talley for all so far (my figures might not be exact), and the results are:
308Win (25) 7mm08 (16) 223Rem (14) 6.5mm CM (12) 243Win (10)
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

Hmmm....gotta have the 223 in there, and I suppose that I will go with 300 SAUM, since now one has picked the SAUM. Both are so much more than given credit for.
