My 1950's jc higgins model 50 in .270 with 130 gr corelokts  , or my grampas model 14 remington pump action in .30 rem for the thicker stuff . For restricted unit (I live near one ) I just use my mossberg 500 with a rifled barrel .



Now the government knows I own three more guns lol ...... :chuckle:

I use a different setup every day I hunt. Imagine the stereotypical woman deciding which shoes to wear, that's me before a hunt.  :chuckle:

Here's my line up deer cartridges. Extra points if anyone can name them all.  :tup:

With all the homemade cartridges you post up, guessing even one might be a challenge.

For a rifle I use my Winchester featherweight model 70 in .280.  For firearm restriction I use a cheap Maverick Arms model 88.

12 Guage in brush. Slugs or 000 buck. And any rifle bigger than a .22 in the open. In town it's Spears only though.
