[Lnewton]

30-30, (my first deer rifle) solid out to 200 yards for deer and hogs.

30-06- just can't beat it and it has killed most of not all that North America has to offer.

.243, 6.5 cr, 7-08, .308 (same casing just different size bullets) good for deer but works great for predators and varmints at distance.

300 win mag. Everyone needs something with a little more range and knockdown power

.223/5.56: because I need to run through a 25 round mag occasionally as fast as I can pull the trigger!
