When People Ask.........
When people ask a question regarding what the "best" calibre, it's best not to be too dogmatic. We can only give an opinion on what we know in relation to our personal experience. It's like when a woman asks you, "do you love me more than any other woman?" You can say "I don't know, there are four and a half billion of you in the world, and I haven't met you all yet, but you're ahead right now!" Then you run!!!!!:

Yeah good one Hornetboy, this will get some great comments I'm sure!!
I guess we're just lucky that there ain't 4.5 billion different calibres. |

It's a baseless/irrelevant question.....
What matters is, what cartridge INTERESTS you. It is not always the fastest, the most accurate, the biggest, the newest, the loudest, or the most expensive.
What's interesting is the round that interests YOU. I've had some very accurate and powerful .25-06 rifles, a .257 Robt Ack Imp, several .250 Savages. But the one that interests me is the little .250 Savage Ackley Improved. It will never be as fast as a .25-06, or as loud[?], but it's so efficient and accurate out of a Shilen barrel I had laying around that it STILL is what I like after about 20 years of having it. Find a cartridge, ask about it, read about it, shop around and buy it. Keep it as long as you want and forget any idea about "this is the last rifle I will buy as it does everything I ask it to"....because something else might be "interesting" next time you read a rifle post, or a gun magazine. Ya just never know. There's a .270 Win. Ackley Improved reamer still hiding out in the shop somewhere.....maybe one day..... |

I knew a guy who always thought what he used was the best and everyone who didn't use what he used was an idiot. He turned nine shades of purple when I told him Elmer Keith considered the .270 Winchester "damned adequate" for coyotes.

If I remember
Elmer thought the 270 was a fine varmint round, the 30-06 "wasn't good for nuthin" and the 375 H&H was a great mule deer round.
I tend to agree with some of his ideas but I do not think he is a Saubier kind of guy. Larry |

The best calibre is the one you use the most for the game/target for that day

Once you are married you are only allowed one woman, at least most places. Why would I want that same limitation in anything else, particularly guns. Men are made to be promiscuous, in all things. Goes against nature to have only one gun when there are so many to try. I have from .17 to .728 calibers and I still haven't tried all the cartridges, or unique guns that interest me. Really hope I never run out of new ones to try.
