What's everyone's favourite cartridge and why?

Wow, a 223, 308 and a 22LR. Really going out on a limb there.

Horses for courses I guess . I’ve gotta reload , but all my favourites are old school that work for me. 222 , 6.5x55 , 30-30 - mainly because the rifle is a very accurate unique Winchester, and my soon to be new favourite , 358 win . If I had to have basics 22lr , 222, and the 6.5 . They suit the part of the country where I live and shoot

I'm not into all these weird stuff like 6.5creadmore, 7mm,17HMR,350 ledged,22mag etc. They just don't blow my skirt up.

The basics do me just fine.
22LR is for small game and general plinking
223 is for everything
308 is for everything but better

add in the 45-70 if you really want to drop big game at close range and the 50BMG or 338 Lapua for long range shooting that packs a bit of a punch.

Would you consider living a little and put an Ackley reamer up your 223?
