I was thinking recently about what makes a successful cartridge and how many Remington and Winchester had to their company. My definition of success would mean there are still new rifles available for purchase for this chambering and you can still buy factory ammo for it from more than one company.
Here is my list:
Remington
223 Remington
22-250 Remington
357 Remington Magnum
44 Remington Magnum
7mm Remington Magnum
Winchester
22 WMR
22 Hornet
243 Winchester
270 Winchester
30-30 Winchester
308 Winchester
300 Winchester Magnum
350 Legend
What others have I forgotten or would you add to the list?

17 rem I love all of those cartridges too, but you can't find a new gun in one now.

Lotta folks lobbying for favorites.
Their choices aren't close to meeting the specs.

284 Win. holds more powder than a 308 and sends the same size bullet out the muzzle faster.

Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

284 Win. holds more powder than a 308 and sends the same size bullet out the muzzle faster. While I totally agree that it's a very effective chambering, if the criteria is "successful", I don't think it qualifies. Try to find a rifle in that round, then try to find ammo for it.

If you picked the most successful chambering in both, I suspect that Winchesters would be either the 270 or the 308, and I'd probably give the nod to the 270 because the 308 was first developed by the miliary. Remingtons would boil down the 223 or the 7 Mag, and again the 223 is for all practical proposes the military 5.56. So that gives Winchester the 270 and Remington the 7 Mag.
