I don’t care what calibers really.
6.5 pound all up 22 to 6mm for small stuff
8 pound all up 7mm to 35 cal for big stuff
The rest of it is up to the shooter at that point.
Out of my battery, I’m keeping a 22 Hornet and a 30-06.

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

Well played. ------------------- I'll roll with the 6.5-06 for deer size and smaller and the 338-06 for deer size and up.

Ok, just because survey. Pick two centerfire cartridges (no rimfires or shotguns) fired in a rifle for varmints to whatever in North America. Doesn’t matter if you handload or not.
Go. if you don't handload: 223, 308 if you do handload: 6x45, 7mm-08
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....
