300 wm BIG ENOUGH FOR deer
- Thread starter ongaro

which reminds me of the time the French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre was sitting in a cafe when a waitress approached him: "Can I get you something to drink, Monsieur Sartre?"
Sartre replied, "Yes, I'd like a cup of coffee with sugar, but no cream".
Nodding agreement, the waitress walked off to fill the order and Sartre returned to working. A few minutes later, however, the waitress returned and said, "I'm sorry, Monsieur Sartre, we are all out of cream -- how about with no milk?"

.330 enough
.300 would be about minimum. The ooooold .30-30 is good up to 50 yards..he,he.

This thread is killing me. First off, it is not the caliber or rifle being considered that is most important. First in the order is the extra equipment you must have in order to "hunt deer". A $70,000 pickup, really high up off the ground, really, really noisy; a trailer with at least 4 really muddy quads; rangefinder; very expensive clothing; then the firearm. Here's my choice for this year:
Here I am at the range, firing my three "sighting in" shots (only three because the recoil is so bad, that is all I can hack, plus the ammo is too expensive) Oh yeah, a 300 is a way too small for killer attack deer.....

By golly, I just might get me one of these: (that is a great pic!!)
I would rather get me one of these!!

Awesome picture!!!! WOW!
Yes. Most Daisys are 245fps but now they have several models in the 495fps range. Now, I don't know about you, but anytime you can double your muzzle velocity, you have definitely gone magnum!! Go Daisy!!

Do any of you remember the 12 caliber Western Haig sixgun that advertised in various hunting and fishing mags about 40 years ago? (see ww----w.pyramydair.com/blog/2008/03/western-haig-stuff-of-little-boys.html) I'm thinking that might be a better choice for deer and Moose. Of course, we're talking the usual good shot placement here.

True enough. On the bright side, for me, I recently picked up a Husqvarna in 358 Norma Magnum and the results for that calibre on the chart look good
. That's my choice for my draw this year in the B.C. central interior.
