The cartridge I choose for a hunting round has more to do with the rifle it is chambered in than the cartridge itself.
Realistically there are dozens of cartridges that overlap for any given animal or situation.
That being said, my goto rifle for quite a few years has been chambered in.303 British, running a 150 grain bullet at 308 Winchester velocities. But I have hunted with others as well.
This year I will start the season off shooting a drilling in 16x16x9.3x72R, just because I really love the gun!
I don't care if an animal is too far to shoot , small ,large or record book , with this rifle my shots will be inside 100 yards.
