All-Around Big Game Caliber
ghosthunter:
Hunted most my life with 30 06. But now favor my 7 mm 08?
Or 50 cal muzzy.
Although for my friends up coming moose hunt in possible griz country, I am packing a fully loaded KSG with slugs in one tube and Buck shot in the other. :chuckle:

People get really passionate about this one. There really isn’t a greatest all around caliber because most of them have a lot of overlap. I’m of the opinion that one should decide on the rifle they want to carry first, then decide on a chambering. 6.5 creedmoor, .270, 30-06, .308, .300 mag, most of them all do the same thing.
I own a bunch of hunting rifles in various chamberings, but for an all purpose caliber, my own preference is the 30-06, it might be a little more than you need sometimes but it’s never inadequate. Ammo can be found nearly anywhere in a pinch(and usually affordable). Shoots “flat enough” for any hunting I’ll usually find myself doing, but won’t shatter your eardrums like a big magnum will.
Disclaimer: I don’t have fantasies of taking 700 yard shots on animals, don’t dial turrets on my hunting rifles, don’t own any flat brimmed hats and still wear a red and black wool shirt in the woods, so take my advice with a grain of salt.
