Rifle Cartridges for Hunting

7mm-08
6.5 cm
.270
.300 wm
30-30

Clearly I need to beef up my list!
 
Ok, I'll play. This isn't everything in the safe, but just the ones that I have or do hunt with...

.22 lr (x3)
.223
.243
7mm RM
.308
.30-06 (x2)
.357 Mag
.45-70

I'm currently on the hunt for another .308 for my wife, and giving serious consideration to taking a Savage 7mm RM that has never shot the way I'd like it to, and turning it into a .28 Nosler just as a winter project. There's plenty more in the safe, but those are my "hunting" cartridges.
 
308
7mm-08
270wsm
257 roberts
243
223
44 mag revolver
50 cal muzzleloader
22 lr
17hmr
lots of pistols and a few shotguns

(and if my wife asks, I only own 1 gun, and I'm just BS'ing with guys on the internet!)
 
I'm so boring... I do most of my hunting with one rifle, chambered in 7mm-08. I do have one other (peep sighted, for bad weather), chambered in .30-06. That's it. The kids have a .308 as well.
 
Why don’t I have something in 25 caliber. I feel so inadequate by comparison.
 
Humble collection compared to most. .22, .243, 6.5cm, 7mm rem mag, 300wsm. Included the .357 mag because I always carry it and killed my first hog with it this year. I'd like to add a 338 and 375H&H to the collection.
