.30-06 no question about it.

The one year I was at deer camp in Potter County... we had a full 25-man hunting roster for the first week of buck season.

IIRC, about 23 of them were .30-06's... one .270 and the oddball .35 rem.

I'm extremely biased towards the 308 .

So I'd say that , the 45acp , the 30-30 or the ought' six .

Does anyone have a graph or a decent link to an ammunition sales graph ?

I was gonna say .30-06, but .22LR is all red-white-and-blue, BSA and summer in the country.

really? i always thought the .30-30 was a straight wall cartridge. i always thought of it as a really big extension of the .45 lc.

I believe he is referring to the 30-03 not the thirty-thirty....

I'll go against the grain and say .45 Colt. Nothing depicts the US like the old wild west, and this was the cartridge that made it famous.
