[QUOTE="Will Gray, post: 1696198, member: 65116"] WWI and WWII made the 30-06 the king. NATO (to save weight) made the 308/7.62 the new king. The 30 caliber is the universal standard as the 22LR is for the rimfire world. Many wildcats have evolved from the 30-06 and 308 cases some of those have been made commercial. Lots of 223 shooting going on at the range and for trash animals but if it is for hunting or fighting, the 30 caliber is king in my view. Handloading adds much to the mix but lots of ammo is sold 20 to the box for hunting. If I could have only one rifle, it would be a 30-06: kill anything on earth, reasonable recoil and ammo available everywhere; if you handload there is a huge selection of bullets available. [/QUOTE]
