Best all around Caliber??

I’m in the 308 camp if I had to pick one. I don’t have one at the moment but have loaded 208s to 2550 and light bullets fast.

Since I don’t have to pick one I have one of everything else lol

Has anyone noticed that @TexanHunter tossed the "what cartridge" question out and hasn't said another word in 5 pages? He got us!

i have a 6.5 sherman short.brand new and havn't shot it yet.sure i am going to like it but with the cartridges listed i want the most horsepower if i only had one rifle.

Thinking a well built 7x64 brenneke would be good. Surprised it wasn’t already mentioned….

.270 or .30-06 for sure. Both can and have killed everything in NA. You don’t need a magnum for anything….

But life is about serving God and having fun and if you want something a little unreasonable… go for it!

Of all the rifles I have , I always go back to my 7mm-08. It shoots really well. It’s taken deer, elk, and has forsaken many of milk jugs.
With that said I’m building a 300 prc right now

6.8 western is a good option even though it’s just a hopped up .270, I retired my tikka 3 years ago and have taken bear, and multiple deer out to 790yds on a mule deer buck and it’s been awesome

You just can’t go wrong with a 308 or 30-06. I use 308 because I like the short action.

I also just debated this and went with a .308. For me it was 400yards and under so hard to argue against a .308

Considering the rifles you have(which are all really similar); and the desire to buy a new rifle. I would say a fast twist 22-250/22 Creedmoor or a 300win mag. You have the middle pretty well covered.
