I would say with no reservation that the .30 calibers are my favorite! I'll also say that day in and day out the .30/30 AI is probably my most favorite of the .30 caliber cartridges. I use the .30/30 AI for informal target shooting and deer hunting. I have several different cartridges that I like and load for so it's really hard to choose what I take to the range on a given day.
It's better to shoot for the moon and hit the fencepost than to shoot for the fencepost and hit the ground!
6mm/243.
I prefer the 6mm rem or 6mm ARC.
For everything deer size down to gophers.
The one I’m shooting at any given time. I’ve always been a quarter bore fan. Deer hunting I went with a 257ai and a 357 max this year. Then again I’ve moved to mostly mild mannered calibers for bench shooting. TCU’s and 225 brass based JDJ’s. I’m planning on a 256 super max and a 30 Reece.
I’m not sure I have an overall favorite caliber. I wish I did. 7mm maybe? I wouldn’t mind delving a bit more into the 6mm’s. I’ve really leaned to 3 particular chamberings over the years, in a number of different platforms, those being 243, 7/08 and especially 30/30 AI.
The smaller the better for me these days, at least around here. I was talking to my BIL a couple days ago at the farm about all the lead we put in the air 50 plus years ago on the place. He bought one of the first 10" Herrett barrels to hit the street around here. He shot every weekend at the gravel pit match's on this side of the state. Its all gone, urban sprawl has gobbled everything up. New younger folks out in the country will call in gun shots from a mile away. I told him shooting is a circle. You get old enough to get a BB gun, then a pellet gun, the a 22 rimfire, continuing to the top of the circle with the belted mags. Then to continue down the back of the circle heading for a BB gun. He agreed. My latest is a Charger clone with a Firefly bolt shooting CCI Quiets. I've got 14 months wait time on my Dead air Mask so it should be any day now I hope. If they can't hear it they can't get excited and call the sheriff.
He did smoke a coyote at the beginning of this week @ 200 with his 223 as it was slowly walking across his hay field. One shot band flop.
5.56 in a .223 chamber
