.22-250 with 35gr Nosler LF... 4,435fps has to be seen to be believed. It's the closest thing there is to a handheld laser.
.243Win impresses me with it's versatility. Very few cartridges are legitimate groundhog to elk guns without being overkill on one end or marginal on the other. I was never a big fan until I started researching the "best" deer round. I dug and dug and every rock had the .243 under it. I did eventually go with .243AI instead but mainly because there's no downside for a handloader. Either way, it's incrdibly versatile. 55gr varmint bullet at 4,000fps or 80gr Barnes TTSX at 3,500... kill 'em all.
