The most commonly available ones:
.22lr (limited ability)
.17HMR
.223
.22-250

the .270 is a great round, dont get me wrong but please oh please in the name of decency dont shoot anything smaller than a coyote with it, youll want to shoot deer with a .50BMG for the same type of spectacular and catastrophic deaths.

.243 is also a great varmint round but if youre gonna be shooting lots then go with something smaller for your shoulder and wallet
