Its not that people don't read the original question, but that the original question has little to no usefulness. It doesn't matter what the single best all around cartridge is since so FEW people shoot everything with one rifle.
The "problem" with the original post is that it names four cartridges that are ballistically very similar.
Yes, there most certainly was a very detailed-criteria question asked. Again, you either didn't read the original post, or you cannot comprehend fairly clear English.There really isn't a question asked.
Sigh..... please ask this to be locked. Hardly anyone is actually answering the question asked.
Shawnee said:Criteria...
* should have bullets and power that is effective for the kinds of game most U.S. hunters go after
* those bullets and that power should come from factory ammo. (No, most U.S. hunters do NOT reload)
* should be easy to hit with at the ranges most responsible/ethical U.S. hunters should be shooting at game - max around 300yds.
* should be easy for most U.S. hunters to shoot (re: blast and recoil)
* should be in a rifle/scope combo that is compact/light enough to be easily carried
* should NOT be scoped with a 3x412x55 double-secant-mil-dot-multi-plex-GPS-heat-seeking- technicolor-white sidewalls-computer-guided scope - in Camo.
So - realizing that most U.S. hunters go after "varmints" and Whitetail or Mule Deer, and sommmmmmmetimes hogs - we are looking for calibers that are true dual-purpose calibers - and there are exactly four (count 'em, 4) of them. Not three (3). Not five (5). There are four (4). Quatro. (4).
In reverse order of desirability they are:
#4 - the .250 Savage
#3 - the .257 Roberts
#2 - the 6mm Remington
and THE #1 - hands-down, guaranteed, All-Time Best Champion centerfire rifle caliber for the typical U.S. hunter is unquestionably - as everyone knows - the .243 Winchester.

What the heck are you on when you post? Some sort of mad trip about hammering YOUR erratic opinion into others minds?
Well, whatever it is, it isn't working well at all. Your style of "reality acceptance" is whacked, and it's pretty apparent. Just look at the way you post, you respond to peoples' thoughts with reiterations of your own, as if they need to take it back and suddenly agree with you....
