[QUOTE="jebel, post: 2131435, member: 106189"] 25 pages of responses in about 36 hours is impressive. I was curious to see what kinds of patterns fell out, so I did an informal tally through the 9th page before tiring (likely a big enough sample). Here are the stats, limited purely to centerfire rifle cartridges: [LIST] [*]The 394 opinions recorded covered 93 different centerfire rifle cartridges. [*]However, two-thirds of those cartridges only received 3 votes or fewer (40% of the cartridges only received 1 vote). [*]The top-5 cartridges plus honorable mentions: [LIST] [*]#1: 223 Rem / 5.56 NATO [*]#2: 300 Win Mag [*]#3: 7mm Rem Mag [*]#4 (tied): 243 Win and 270 Win [*]#6 (tied): 22-250 Rem, 6.5 CM, 308 Win, and 375 H&H Mag [*]#10: 6.5 PRC [/LIST] [*]The top calibers: [LIST] [*]#1: .308 [*]#2: .284 [*]#3: .224 [*]#4: .264 [*]#5 (tied): .243 and .338 [*]#7: .375 *Note, if you considered everything larger than .338 as one 'caliber', the big bores would have tied for 4th place. [/LIST] [/LIST] The collective has spoken. [/QUOTE]
