Best all around rifle caliber advice It seems the .243, .257 Roberts, .25-06 would be perfect for this role. With ammo being in short supply you might want to get the rifle for which you can readily find suitable ammo in stock.
Yeah, very probably the best all around cartridge choice is .30-06. Similarly, the best all around caliber is .308 inch. There are an almost bewildering number of .308 caliber cartridges as well as more bullet weights and types than any other caliber - from 110 grains to 250 grains. Pete
First rifle ... what's the best all around caliber The Art of the Rifle: General
My all-purpose rifle is a Remington 700 in 300 Win Mag. With my handloads I brew up everything from 110-220gr rounds and use it for woodchucks to bear. A super accurate, reliable, and strong all-around rifle/cartridge combo in my opinion.
Well, the OP already has one of the very best all-around big game calibers with his 270. The 223, good as it may be, is more of a varmint cartidge.The 22LR is a better small game cartridge for game intended to be eaten rather than to be blown to smithereens.
Posts: 1,221. Choosing best all around caliber? I'm considering a hunting/ long range target rifle in .308 for a couple reasons. 1. The cost of ammo seems to be a little less expensive than some. 2. Possibly less recoil than 30-06. And 3. Able to use the cheaper 7.63x51mm surplus ammo.
Best "all around" caliber without question the .308.... Lever rifles chambered in .308 are common just not as prolific as Win or Marlin 30-30s. If given the choice between a Savage 99 or Winchester 88 or Browning BLR in .308 or a Marlin 336 or Win 94 30-30 which would you select?

Join Date: February 9, 2008. Location: New England. Posts: 403. Best all around rifle powder would be something in the middle burning range. Varget, RE15, and IMR4895, 3031, and 4064 would be good choices. There are other powders that are also good but these are the powder I use for most of my rifle cartridges.
