Everytime I see this thread, I think it’s been posted by some Democratic Think Tank trying to test the waters for some new gun legislation they’re cooking up.
Makes my skin crawl!

If you could only have three cartridges to cover all your shooting needs
what would they be and what would each be used for

Depends on where you live, what you use rifles for and if you reload. 300 Win Mag for elk, deer and antelope. 12ga pump action for turkey, grouse, waterfowl. A Glock 20 for bear protection.

45/70
.500 S&W Magnum

That’s the whole list. Now, I do sometimes have shooting “wants” but I can do anything I’ll ever have the cash to do with a 6BR. I am not the least bit afraid of hunting animals up to elk with a 108 elite hunter at reasonable distance, and my 13.5 twist handles coyotes and whitetails just fine.

.22lr, .223, and 6br cover just about everything I do with rifles. For pistols, 9mm. That’s it.

30BR
45-70

Anyone make a 30BR in a lever action? I think it would be nice. I have one of my 30br’s ( bench rest) with a 21” barrel. It will shoot in the 2’s and sometimes in the 1’s (100 yds)
Just wonder how that cartridge would do in say a 20” lever gun?

I doubt you would be able to run the pressures of BR loads in the lever as you would in a BR rifle. Also you would need to use round nose or Flex-Tip bullets in it unless you had a Browning (BLR).
