thanks!Please rank these hunting guns by lethality/power?
In close range


1). 10 gauge


2).12 gauge


3). 357 magnum is a very lethal weapon, but a shotgun is better for close range


4) .22 can be used for a far range and it is lethal considering the size of the bullet. I have a .22 that I have killed a deer with it's accurate up to about 50 yards.


mid-long range


1). .308


2). 30x6


3). 7mm and the 30-30 are debatable, but I would say the 7mm.Please rank these hunting guns by lethality/power?
It's quite pointless and impossible to make comparisons among handgun, rifle, and shotgun chamberings absent the intended application. A very powerful shotgun at close range is useless at ranges that are quite modest rifle-shooting distances, for instance. Also, 22 LR is considerably more powerful in a rifle than in a handgun, as is 357 Magnum in a carbine compared to a revolver.


A 10 gauge shotgun with 3'; chamber shoots about the same amount of shot as a 12 gauge with a 3 1/2'; chamber, at about the same velocity. So you have to look more closely at chambering than just the bore size.


Among your rifle calibers, 30-06 is slightly more powerful than 308 Winchester, which is in turn more powerful than 30-30. There are quite a few 7mm rifle cartridges, and the bore size is .284';, so the bullets are of smaller diameter than the 30 caliber rifles. But bullet weight also comes into play, and some of the cartridges are of considerably more power than others. 30-06 was designed to be more powerful than the 7mm Mauser, for instance, but 7mm Remington Magnum shooting a 160 grain bullet at 3000 fps may outperform 30-06 with a 165 grain bullet at 2800 fps; at least they're very close. Here the specific choice of bullet may make the difference, as does the task you're trying to accomplish.
I'm going to assume that 30 x 6 means 30-06. Also, those are different chamberings, not specific firearms. There's also shotguns mixed with rifles in the list. That's like comparing apples and oranges.





Comparing ';lethaility'; is nonsensical. Dead is dead, it doesn't come in differing degrees. It doesn't matter if death is the result of a .22 or a .30-06, the results are equally lethal.





Some rounds have higher velocities, they use differing bullet weights, and they are all useful in certain circumstances.





The firearm should match the job. For rabbit hunting I'll go with a .22. For deer, the .30-06 would dod just fine.
DUH..





Those are not guns, those are cartridges.





30x6...I suppose you mean 30-06? In a rifle that is the top of the list.





Shot guns have no where near the power of a bullet so they would be near the bottom of the list. Unless you are talking about up close and using slugs.





Also it makes a big difference in barrel length. 357 mag in a pistol or a rifle?





Your list is lame. Just go to a website that has ballistic charts and look to see which has the highest muzzle energy and that will allow you to arrange your own list.
The lethality.. as you put it.. is there for each of the gun sizes you picked. Lethal,, as in they will all kill. It isn't fair to compare rifles to handguns or to shotguns.. or vice versa. Each is designed for a certain purpose. Shotguns loaded with field loads are lethal out 20 yards or so and more for birds. As for when loaded with buckshot however, is totally devastating at close range and the killing range will increase out to 100 yards or so.





Shotguns...


10 ga.


12 ga.





Pistols.


357 mag.


22.





Rifles..


Each one you picked are all capable of delivering power and accuracy at long ranges depending on the type rifle and ammunition.


The .308 probably the most accurate of the 3. But not more powerful. The 7mm delivers more ft. lbs. of energy than both the 308 or the 30-06. All of these rifles have a long range of kill.
first being the lowest in power and kill ability

7mm(hangun round)


.357 mag

10ga


that is just a generic order too,depends on what gun your using,what barrel,what your using it for ect.
guns are judged better by what you want to use them for.. a 30/06 and 22 are both good for what they are made for..squirl? 22 is better...deer..30/06 better..and what gun? revolver? a 357..not a 10 G
Assuming you are talking about slugs in the shotguns and with a target less than 100 yds.
