Funny that you asked that guestion, I just read an article in last months issue of Guns and Ammo. The writer said the win 308 was one of the best cal. for efficiency. Just my $.02 which isn't worth much!

I remember reading somthing about the .308 being very efficient at turning a smaller amount of powder into lots of velocity. The article was comparing big game hunting rounds and did not mention .22 rimfires.
Just my $.02 (Canadian) which really isn't worth spit these days.

If you're figuring in powder vs wieght with speed figured in...I would think that one of the 22 caliber cartridges would be right up there. Maybe a 223 or 22-250 or 220 swift...something like that.
