Favorite "Do it all" rifle caliber

[tarbe]

I've loaded for, shot and hunted pretty much the whole range from 22 Hornet to 470 Nitro and 450 Dakota.

Excluding dangerous game (ie MOST hunting in the lower 48) I have to say 308 or any 30 cal from 308 to 300 Wby.

As soon as you start adding in stuff that can kill you without thinking about it, the answer has to change!

That's probably why there are three 308s in my safe (along with a 300 H&H, a 30-40 Krag, a 30-30 and a 300 Blackout...I guess I like 30 cal).

An AR in 6.8 SPC II loaded with Barnes solids will ruin pretty much anything's day within about 300 yards and still be pretty handy.

My Savage has a 31" 284 Winchester barrel and I'm hoping it will group well at 1,500 yards to a mile or more. It should be able to hit many more things than my 6.8 SPC but it's too long and heavy to really call it handy.

This used to be my favorite in my younger years to keep
in the truck. DL Savage O/U .22 mag on top, 20 gage
below. Traded that for a pre Gettysburg .357 Black Hawk.
Traded that for the .41 Mag Black Hawk which still is in
use. If that is all I had, that would be all I need.
