I think we could take our pick from:
.22rf
.30-30
.30/06

.30/06 in rifles and in handguns a .357 Magnum or .45 calibre anything.

I think the .270 deserves at least an honorable mention on the list.

American caliber?


Handgun: 45 Long Colt

The only choice - It won the West!!

Rifle, A Tie: 30 WCF (30-30) and the 30.06

I would bet there are thousands upon thousands of hunters through the years that started with the 30-30. Many still use it.
