I think if moose is on the list most people thay hunt them have a number of guns. One gun for everything? To many good answers but for me probably my 6.5x55. Could be a 308 with me as I've done a lot of hunting with one. But if I thought about it and had to come up with a perfect cartridge it would probably be one I have not hunted with much. Very very hard to denight the versatility of the 30-06. avaliability of ammo, lower recoil than any magnums that might make this list and A really wide range of bullet's. I've killed three elk with one and thats it. Yea for me preobaably my 6.5x55 knowing there many more just as good!I’ve had a lot of time on my hands the last month and have been reading and watching hunting videos and everything related to hunting and the outdoors.
I like Ron Spomer and his many videos on firearms and the many different calibers available. A recent video I watched was titled “One gun to rule them all!” A reference to Lord of the Rings no doubt. He chose the 7mm rem magnum as the ultimate all around gun for average hunting range and for a little extra when needed. I like the 30-06, but I’ve never been out west either.
So just for kicks and because it’s interesting to see what other hunters think. What’s your choice if you only had one caliber to hunt everything…bear, moose, pronghorn, hogs, whitetails…etc?
