Your 3 favorite hunting cartridges of all time

[Bobpuckett]

I have refrained from posting in this thread, because I really want to put 4 down...but I will play by the rules:

.375 H&H
.300 H&H
.22 Hornet

Honorable mention to the .308 Winchester.

Is that cheating??

Yes thats cheating! Welcome to the club.

 

[damundsen87]

300 H&H
7x57
6.5x55 swede
but I also am quite fond of both of my 222's

 

[matt85]

my current favorites:

7.62x39 (my CZ 527 is a dream to hike around with)
7x57 (effective and has some neat history)
375 H&H (haven't hunted with it yet but I already love the cartridge!)

[uplander01]

338 Win Mag-225-250gr TSX -everything in North America
375 HH-350gr Woodleighs or North Forks-everything in Africa
and a shotgun for everything else

 

[Johnny7604]

260 Remington
300 Win Mag
338 Lapua

All three are great and have served me very well.

257 Weatherby

338 Win Mag
375 Weatherby
404 jeffery

 

[Hank2211]

300 Win Mag
375 H&H
.404 Jeffery

Nothing I can't shoot with that trio.

 

[colorado]

270 Win
375 Weatherby
500 Jeffery

If I had to go to one rifle it would be the 500 Jeffery, just need to get a bit closer (under 300 yards) for elk ...

Ladies & Gentlemen,

Only three?
That really freaks me out man, but I will behave and comply......this time.
My attention span is about equal to a child aged only that many years.
Therefore, I have no "all-time' favorites, only whatever I'm using or contemplating using on a trip or, even just to the rifle range.
(I have issues).

At any rate, these following calibers are my 3 favorites, at the moment.

.300 H&H
.375 H&H
.458 Lott

Los Mausers Modelo 98s, por favor.

Out,
Velo Dog.

If I was to be very boring, I could say that you only need 3 rifle cartridges in your gun safe

6.5x55
9.3x62
.500 NE

Oh noes, no US cartridges in my list

I can add the 22lr for some small critters and plinking then

Then you are set for anything.

Someone needs to start a new thread; "what are your favorite dozen hunting cartridges" !

Sorry for the interruption,

as you were.

405 Winchester in a Win 1895 lever action with open sights is a nice choice for North American black timber

Taking one to RSA in June! Black timber! The very idea!
