Re: Your Favorite North American Hunting Caliber

I can't say I have a favorite caliber or cartridge because I often have the most enjoyments using guns that are not as easy to make kills with. Flintlock Muzzleloaders and old fashion guns with irons only, and a lot with regular holster revolvers are most fun for me.

But the one cartridge I have killed the most big game with is without a doubt the 270 Winchester. The reason I don't use it all that much now days it that it is just too easy and my hunting stops too soon.

In the last 54 years I can't count the number of game animals I have killed but I would guess that I have used about 60-70 different cartridge's to kill them all. If I were to divided the number of kills in half I would guess that 50% were killed with 270 Winchesters. The other 50 % with the other 60-70 cartridges combined.

Thinking back and trying to remember them all they are:

22 LR rifles and handguns
22 WMR rifle and handguns (Nothing larger then a coyote)
222 Rem
223 (Nothing larger then a coyote)
22-250
6MM Rem
243 Win
250 Savage (Nothing larger then a coyote)
257 Rob
25-06
6.5 Swede

6.8 SPC
270 Winchester
270 Win Short mag
7X57
280
7X64
7MM Rem Mag
7MM S/H
7MM Weatherby mag.
7MM STW
30-30
30-40 Krag
7.5 Swiss
308
30-06
300 Norma mag
300 H&H
300 Win Mag
300 Weatherby Mag.
30-378 Weatherby
7.62X39
7.62X54R
7.65 Belgian
303 Brit
8X57
8X68
32-20 (Nothing larger then a coyote)
338-06
338 Win Mag
348 Winchester
35 Remington
9MM Luger handguns (Nothing larger then a raccoon)
38 Special handguns (Nothing larger then a coyote)
357 magnum handguns
9.3X57
9.3X62
9.3X74R
375 H&H
41 Mag handgun
416 Taylor
416 Rigby
404 Jeffery
44 mag handguns
44 mag Rifle
44/77 Sharps
45 cal Ruger Old Army cap-and-ball
45 ACP handguns
45 Colt handguns
454 Casull handgun
45-70
458 Win
460 G&A
50-140 Sharps
577/450 M/H
50 cal flintlock round balls
54 cal flintlock rounds balls
58 Cal Cap-Lock Hawken with Lee REALs and round balls both
62 cal flintlock round balls
Wood arrows

And I may have missed a few.

But if I look at all the kills I have made of game over 50 pounds in all my life, probably close to half of them were killed with 270s.
