My first rifle and cartridge chose me. I walked into the store many years ago and there was a Model 70 Featherweight in .270 in the rack. Shouldered it and it felt right so walked out with it. That same rifle is still in my safe. I’ve had many rifles and cartridges since then but I kept coming back to the 30-06 so that’s my primary right now. Also have a .223, 7mm-08, and a .338 to round things out. I like my cartridges simple and cost effective. Don’t need much that I don’t already have.
Putting down game is probably 80% the shooter and 20% the cartridge in any event.
