[Tf223]

I’m working back towards what I should have kept all along. Three covers all my rifle needs;

.22wmr - rabbits/fox
.223 - foxing (setup for lamping)
6.6x55 - fox/deer

 

[Griggo06]

I still stand by my .FAC in .25 can shoot pigeons out of tree and inside sheds I do more of that than anything else.
.20 vartarg lots of cartridge for little powder.
And either 6.5cm or .308 depends if I did wild boar alot.

[Erik Hamburger]

.22Lr; .243W, .308W. Covers all for the UK.
I would be lead by the availability of different types and weights of amo in your locality and elswhere in the world, more than by a small variation on the above calibres being fashionable or not, or minute differences in ballistic performance.

 

[tumbleweed]

.22lr or .17hmr, 243win, .308win, all of which I have

 

[martin_b]

for a target shooter.. .22LR 6.5CM and .416Barrett. that should cover 2meters to 2miles

[6pt-sika]

Hmmmm , 243 the 260 REM and for number three I have it down to three choices 6.5 PRC - 6.5-06 - 26 Nosler . Doesn’t help that I own atleast one rifle for each of the five cartridges .
