What is your current go-to big game hunting firearm chambered in?

[Nyksta]

Reading the other poll asking what your first purchased firearm was chambered in, I'm curious what people choose to use now with their current preferences/experiences. I took some of the suggested missing popular cartridges from the other thread and included them, however the poll options are limited to 10 choices, so I've tried to group cartridges into similar groups. If yours is not included, try and pick the similar group.

338wm for moose/bear, .260 for deer.

243,7-08,270WSM 7-08 is my fav.

 

[stubblejumper]

Since 1990, my go to big game cartridge , has been the 7mmstw.

I usually go with a 7x57. It just seems to work for me. I've never had to go looking for anything that I shot with one.

What no 300 PRC?....get with the times man!

 

[dgradinaru]

The 8x57 is my preferred/ favorite hunting cartridge but the 30-06 is really warming up to me as of lately. Ammo is abundant and available everywhere at fair prices. Both those hunting cartridges will take care of all your hunting needs in North America.

I mainly hunt mule deer and my go to rifle is chambered in 270 winchester. I also like the 284 winchester.

 

[TheCoachZed]

Very much depends where I'm hunting, but if I know it's all woods, then the 12 gauge comes as often as not.

 

[RyPal]

The same 30-06 I've had since I was 20.

Pretty vanilla, but it's done the job on everything I've ever shot.

.270 win. A constant in my safe for 30 yrs and counting.

 

[bjmurata]

I've owned many hunting rifles in many different calibers over the years but I guess the one I've used the most up to current day would be my Mod 70 in 30-06,seen a lot of bush.

 

[Boolitcaster]

For the last 5 years, it has been my Ruger #1 in 303 Brit.

 

[GUB]

Don't see a .375 Ruger..
Someones going to get triggered

The biggest game I hunt is deer and I'm using a 6.5 Grendel right now but also use a 7-30 Waters when in the mood. That said there are a lot of elk around here and if I buy a tag for them this fall it will be the 7 Rem Mag or 50 BP.

300rcm or 280rem when still hunting
44 mag or 7.62x39 when pushing

 

[.264 Win Mag]

.264 win mag or a 300 PRC neither on the poll
