For just shooting I prefer a 22 centerfire. I would never use it on deer but that is my favorite

With a cast and jaketed bullets from 100-250 grns3 cans of powder and a non-mag. primer the 30-06' will do every thing on the continant resonably safely . I know it's not for the great bears but under a 100 it'll do the job as long as you don't shoot it in the forehead . If I weren't going north of theMason-Dixion I'd have to take the 357 as a second.

caliber:



1.
the diameter of something of circular section, esp. that of the inside of a tube: a pipe of three-inch caliber.



2.
Ordnance. the diameter of the bore of a gun taken as a unit of measurement.


cartridge:




2.
a case containing any explosive charge, as for blasting.



3.
any small container for powder, liquid, or gas, made for ready insertion into some device or mechanism: an ink cartridge for a pen.

They are NOT the same thing! [&o]

I'm like Hairtrigger, as I would have to say my favorite is the 223. Of what you have, I like the 308 and the 30-06. Come to think of it, I like the 270, 7X57, 7-08, 30-30, and the 357 also!

My favorite is .308, just because of familiarity. My next rifle is going to be a 7mm-08. Heard so many good things about it, I decided to try it.
