6x47 Rem is a fun one. (6mm-222 rem mag)
257AI, 6.5-06AI, 338-06, 280AI
These are all good cartridges I have experience with. The 6.5-06AI is a stellar round with 140s. I shoot the 6x47 more than any of the above just because it packs a hell of a punch in such a small chambering.

It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.

I have a .25-35 improved in a Contender - got it from FyrepowrX here on the Campfire. Fun little cartridge loaded with 80 TTSXs.

Depends on the application.
Big game - 400 Whelen
Calling/Fur hunting 6mmx222 or 25x222
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

It's gotta be the .35 Brown-Whelen,I'm on my second one. The first was on a commercial FN 98 with 23" Brownells barrel,it shot quite well.
The current one is a push feed Win. 70 with 23" Lilja SS barrel.This round comes within 5% of a .338 WM and less recoil.
200 gr. bullets for the little ones,250s,280s and 300s for the big ones.

Like Mart said depends
For varmints, 22-250AI
For big game 375 Whelen AI
I prefer classic.

In a Contender the 309 JDJ is the best balanced cartridge for small and large game in a 10” or 14” barrel. Case holds 25 grains more H20 than the 30-30 Win and 12 grains more H20 over the 308 Win. Even with its lower pressure Contender loadings it’s not far behind the higher allowable pressures of the 308 Win speeds with 130, 150 and 165 grain loads.

338-06 without question, possibly the Improved version. Both are excellent.

True wildcat .411 Thornton my fathers doing. What exactly is it? Basically it is a 405 win case but 3.25 inch long. He had Bertram in Australia make the brass for him. I have it in a Ruger #1. Pushes a 300 grain Barns a bit over 2700 and a 400 grain Woodliegh right at 2400. The big surprise is recoil is not too bad.
