FWIW I have a .280 Rem. I've shot maybe 25 rounds through it. Trying to get it dialed in to hunt with it this year. Not sure if it's finicky, doesn't like what I fed it, maybe I stink as a shooter, but I couldn't get anything better than about 2.5" groups at 100 yards today. Need some more trigger time for sure.

I really think the .260 would be my perfect high country deer round and the .35 would be my perfect rain forest elk round, but instead I use my 30-06 for everything.

On the more normal side, I've always wanted to have a 6.5x55 Swede Ack. Imp. built. Figure if they are still chambering the 6.5x55 Swede in modern day rifles after it's more than a 100 years old, must be something pretty good about it.
Also, I've got a bit of a crush on the necked down 6x47 Lapua.
Sheesh, I go from about the biggest, to one of the oldest, to one of the newest. lol

Many of my favorite stories were of hunting blacktail deer in Canada or up by the old camp at Capital Peak. Most of those were of my grandmothers fabulous feats of accuracy and quick kills using the 25-35. Probably the reason I am a quarter bore nut to this day. But, I have not yet shot a single thing with the 25-35. One of these days I will! And I'm sure grandma and grandpa will be watching the whole thing from their heavenly perches.
That will be a great day!

Another one that has come up fairly recently my sister found an old box of .250 savage ammunition, and since neither her my brother in law are hunters/shooters they automatically assumed it was something of mine and gave it to me. Best I can assume it was my grandfathers before he passed away. I remember hearing that he had a .250 savage but my grandmother sold it in his later years as he slipped into dementia. Now I really want a .250 savage

As for cartridges I have no experience but am in love with. I would have to say .25-06 for rifles. I love a good .30-06, so the little brother must be good too. (Although if the 30 Nosler is a real thing as mentioned before, that might move right to the top of my list.) In a hand gun I would say 41 rem mag. I've heard some great stories about it, but never even held one.

My grandfather was a great story teller. As a young boy I remember summer stays with grandpa as the best days of my life. I know some kids were given bedtime stories about fairy's, friendly monsters or dragons, even fables and nursery rhymes. Well, not at grandpa's house!! At grandpa's we were put to bed with hunting stories!My dad's uncle always shot a 25-35. I always heard how he always got meet with it back in the 50's and 60's. They still seem to show up at my dad's place, I think he's up to three now. They are fun to shoot!

He asked if I would use it and I assured him that he should trade it for something he would use.
Forty years later, I wish I could shoot a few deer and an elk with it.
I hunt timber and shoot most game at less than fifty yards.
It's not a great round, but at fifty yards, it packs a wallop.
