I voted 308 because you can buy ammo at any store, and it's just as effective as any other cartridge.

.7mm-08 & .308.  Same case different bullet size. Overall a .308 is a great round.

They're all based on the .308 with different bullet diameters.  So are the .243 and .338 Federal, which were left off for some reason.

Well, if you're going to add cartridges, you better put the 257 Roberts up there.

That famous high-mountain hunting specialist Jack O'Connor will be turning in his grave if the 25-06 is on the list but his favorite, the 270 Win, is not.  :twocents:

Can't vote from my phone, but the .243 Win is my choice for the perfect deer round.

But not the .243?  I think of that as more "high mountain deer" than the 338 Federal

243 win is my all time favorite deer caliber.  Never have needed to track a deer.
