Which cartridges have you used to take at least one big game animal?
For me this is the list:
.22-250 Remington
.243 Winchester
.25-06 Remington
.270 Winchester
7mm Remington Magnum
.300 Savage
.308 Winchester
.30-06 Springfield
.300 Winchester Magnum
8mm Remington Magnum
.338 Lapua Magnum
It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Deer to Grizzly bears. If we can count Pigs I can add another five or 10 handgun and rifle cartridges plus shotguns.

.300 Winchester Magnum

I generally don't try out new cartridges when I have rife/cartridge combinations that have worked well.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............

I generally don't try out new cartridges when I have rife/cartridge combinations that have worked well. While I lean heavily upon proven cartridge/rifle combos, I enjoy trying something I've never used, especially on antlerless hunts.

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively...

Fun list, but I don’t want to publicly state everything I own or give any idea how many I own.
Adventure is the only thing you buy that makes you richer
If you have raced with runners and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in a peaceful land, what will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?

Am seeing a lot of the old standbys but also a good mix of interesting or unusual! Keep it coming!
