[QUOTE="7mmTikkaShooter, post: 2130954, member: 92915"] I’ll state my picks based on a few factors (in normal years): availability of ammo since not everyone reloads, availability of rifles chambered in cartridge, cost of ammo and equipment, and let’s throw barrel life in as well. 1) 22LR for plinking and rodents etc. 2) 223/5.56 for varmints and home protection etc. 3) 7mm Rem Mag for varmint/antelope/deer/elk/competition/etc. 4) 338 LM for deer and anything larger in North America 5) Something huge here but I’m out of my depth making a suggestion for large African game. Could maybe make an argument for the 338 LM with the right bullet but I’ll leave it at this for now. Fun exercise. It’s interesting to see how much variation there is amongst the posts so far. Guess that’s why they make so many cartridges. Thanks for the question. [/QUOTE]
