As for me, I used my .270 win for my Oregon buck and my WA buck this year.

I don't think it matters the shape and size of the little brass case that holds the powder that burns. As long as it sends out that little piece of lead and hits the target, that's all that matters. To me, this question is a fun one but one where we don't learn a lot. I worry less about the size and shape of the powder holder and more about the object that actually makes contact with the animal. Bullet design is 95% of it, in my opinion. :dunno:
exactly but like you said its still a fun topic

I am not looking for a thread to argue about what cal is better, just woundering what is most popular this year!
As for me, I used my .270 win for my Oregon buck and my WA buck this year.
Good Luck with that!! It ALWAYS turns into a debate.

I've never understood why people shoot a .300 RUM or .340 Wthby at 100 pound deer?? Do you not enjoy venison?? Everything that I have ever seen that wasn't hit perfectly behind the shoulder when perfectly broadside, there was one hell of a mess. I understand the theory of not wanting your animal to run off in thick brush and trying to drop it in it's tracks but a well placed shot with a smaller caliber can accomplish it. :twocents: Not bashing you big bore guys but I just don't get it..

i think it is pretty awesome that a .340 weatherby was used! way to hammer down! being overgunned is not necessary at all... but it sure is fun! :P
I guess it's fun if you enjoy making hamburger out of both front shoulders upon impact. Nothing like cutting 50 pounds of meat off your deer and leaving it in the woods because it looks like it's been through a blender. Not my idea of fun.

who says you need to shoot the deer through the shoulders? through the ribs behind the shouldr would be suffucient... to each their own. big gum or little gun, the deer is dead meat, and tastey :hello:

ive seen worse damage from small caliber rounds than some large caliber rounds all depends on exact bullet placement and how big of a chunk of bone you hit

I know this is for the successful rifle hunters, but if I were to rifle hunt again, I would use my Browning A-Bolt in 25-06 shooting Federal 100 grain Nosler ballistic tips. My buddy used it last year to fill his antlerless tag in GMU 130. Nice little 25 cal hole going in, significantly lafger hole coming out. That was an easy blood trail.
my oh my... those sound like some good coyote pills for this winter dude!
