any 20 inch barrel in a synthetic stock and stainless action , 30 or 338 Cal and a low power scope , or the stand by moss burg 500 with 00 buck and sabots.
My wife told me that I hunt way more than I did when we first got married. I said yeah I know isn't it great !

so i guess what this thread shows that any legal caliber will kill a blacktail...is one better than the other ?  nope dead is dead....shot placement is paramount.  what you have that shoots accurately is the key

So far 2 with a Thompson Center Icon .243, and one with the 1899 vintage Model 94 30-30. Next, the Ruger no. 3 in .35 Whelen or the 1947 Model 70 in 30-06.

Remington 700 in .308. but i miss my boat paddle Ruger stainless .260Rem that i sold to my buddy,that gun is great because of the low recoil you can shoot between branches and hit em in the earhole if necessary.it also killed bears,antelope,elk,coyotes,etc.no idea why i sold it *censored*!

practically anything you use on blacktail will put em down. any deer for that matter. as long as your shot placement is good your gonna be fine. that being said i used a 338 win mag on a blacktail a few years ago, makes a huge mess!

Remington Model 660 .308 w/ Winchester 150gn power Points or  Rem 700 .308 w/Hornady 165gn SST has taken many Blacktails over the years.

Well I have never hunted blacktail or the west side but I always thought a rem model 7 in .358 Winchester would be a great combo
copy that 358 win...just bought a new BLR in 358--took it out last week to see where it shot with the open sights..at 100 yards the first shot was 2" high with 200 gr hornady accubonds..ready to whack-em and stack-em
That's all my dad has used for the last 30+ years with open sights.I have never seen a deer take a single step after being shot.I shot a white tail buck with it a few years ago with the buffalo bore 225grn X-bullet and that deer simply folded like a lawn chair truly kills out of proportion to its case size.
