Your 3 favorite hunting cartridges of all time

[Doug Hamilton]

3 yikes

22 Creedmoor (not fur friendly, but can be used on smaller big game)
280 Ackley or 7mm PRC or 300 Winchester Mag, I'd pick the first two if I still lived in the USA and for Europe the last one if I was back home in Merica!
375 Ruger or H&H, same as above


4 easier
204 Ruger mostly fur friendly
6mm Creedmoor
7mm PRC
375 Ruger

10 easy button
17HMR super fur friendly
204 Ruger
223 because it is cheap to shoot
6.5mm Creedmoor or a 6mm Creedmoor for the same reason as the 223
7mm PRC
30-06
300 PRC or 338 Lapua
360 Buckhammer or a 444 or 45-70
375 Ruger or my 10,3x68 RWS
500/416 NE in a Krieghoff double rifle

I know! It's like asking a father of four to pick a favorite child...

Had the chance to fire a 458 Lott in a Ruger No1 with full house 500gn loads. Expected to be slapped silly from all that I've been told and read.
Can honestly say it wasn't that bad. Very tolerable. Didn't even need my big boy pants, the wife's frilly knickers would have been fine

Bob, the RSM in Lott is even "pussier"... sweet shooting rifle.
