Game of all size and shape is hunted, and the calibre varies in accordance with what it is you're hunting. If you're hunting elk, you're not going to use the same calibre you would hunt squirrel with, and vice versa. A hunting rifle is simply a rifle which is used for hunting - that in itself doesn't determine what's being hunted, and it would be impossible to determine an average calibre, given that not every hunting rifle was a purpose built rifle - some hunters, for example, used decommissioned military rifles such as the SKS.
There is no one answer- it depends on the rifle. They are generally less powerful than a full size battle rifle cartridge. The M16 rifle uses a 5.56mm bullet, the AK47 a 7.62mm bullet, etc.
The correct size of the bullet that fits the rifle.
The force of the rifle on the bullet and the force of the bullet on the rifle are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, according to Newton's third law of motion. However, the mass of the rifle is much larger than the mass of the bullet, so the acceleration of the rifle is much smaller compared to the acceleration of the bullet.
Only if he is armed with a good hunting rifle and has the proper type and size of bullet to puncture a hippo's thick skin and skull in order to kill it.

If you need to ask this you shouldn't own let alone be shooting a rifle!
Size of the rifle will vary, depending on make/ model. The 30-30 BULLET is larger in diameter and weight than the .243, but has less energy. This is due to a slower bullet.
have a gunsmith do this, push a slug of close dia through the rifle, and micrometer the bullet. this will give the true bore size.
None, explosive ammunition is prohibited for hunting.
Yes, an AR-15 can be an effective rifle for hunting wild hogs, as it is capable of delivering accurate shots at various distances. However, the effectiveness depends on factors such as bullet selection, shot placement, and the size of the hog. It's important to follow local hunting regulations and ensure responsible hunting practices. Always prioritize safety and ethical considerations when hunting any wild animal.
No, an eagle cannot strike two times harder than a rifle bullet. The force of an eagle's strike, while powerful for its size, is significantly less than that of a bullet fired from a rifle. For example, a bullet can travel at speeds exceeding 1,000 feet per second and deliver a force that is many times greater than an eagle's talon strike. Therefore, the comparison is not accurate.
Generally, no. The size is the same, but the mass of the projectile is not. And a .22 rifle bullet is propelled by gunpowder, with a much higher muzzle velocity than an air-powered pellet.
