Your Favorite Caliber For Deer

[Gobble]

.30-06 High Energy 180 gr. Noslers

Been almost 20 years since I've rifle hunted for deer but when I did it was a toss up between my 1st rifle, a Savage model 99c .308 or a Browning A-bolt .280 Rem., both were very sweet shooting guns, wish I still had them.

400 grain easton axis-shuttle T lock combo's just kidding I'll go with 7mm remington.

Had been using a .270, but had to give that back to my grandpa I was borrowing it from. I'm considering using my .243 again this year for Blacktail. If I draw an eastside permit, I will probably shoot some 150 or 180's out of the .300 RUM.

Browning BLR in .308, Remington 700 (built myself) in 7mm-08, and this year gonna carry my .257 A.I., I built on a Howa 1500 action, shooting 120 gr. Nosler Partitions.  So far the 1st two have been deer killers, knocking them flat whatever the range.  I think it is time for the Ackley to get deer blood on it, no matter how pretty it is to look at.

Winchester Model 70 carbine short action 243 with 85 grain Barnes TSX BT. Prior to the Barnes I used 85 grain BT Hornady. Have used the combo on blacktails, mulie's, antelope and my 2 bears, all with very short tracking if any at all.

I shoot a custom my uncle helped me build:

Mauser '98 action barrelled in 30-06, timney trig., synthetic stock, Leuplold scope...etc.etc..  makes pretty cloverleafs at 100yds.

I recently switched to Fed. Premium loads topped with 165g Barnes TSX - one gun, one load for Blacktail, Mulies, and elk.

I have a .257 Wby on my xmas list though!
