Whitetail Deer Caliber of Choice...

[leveractionjunkie]

Well I've never been able to kill a whitetail. Few Mulies though and my favourite is my 45/70, at least thats what I've used on the last 6 or 7.

 

[NB444]

Okay, I'll play. For the tree stand or thick stuff a 444 XLR of course. For the open areas lately a 270 win M70 stainless or a 300 win mag 700 stainless. It is generally wet in our deer season lately so I generally use a stainless rifle.

 

[peterf]

7x57. It's my all time favorite.

 

[bctrucker]

My Ruger 270 win or my Ruger 7x57 and for the bush my Marlin XLR 45/70

MIKE

 

[blwebster]

Whatever i am holding at times

 

[Boomer74]

I don't have much of a choice...

.44Mag is the only hunting caliber I have right now.

Soon I hope to have a decent .260Rem or .270Win bolt-gun for a better all-around lrg game rifle.

 

[fugawi]

Still liking the .243 but been thinking about .280 Rem. But that just might be wanting a new gun.

 

[captonion]

Gonna try out the 6.8 SPC this season..

 

[skoal]

.308 becouse its what i have if i had a .338 id use that if i had a 50bmg id use that.

 

[gtrussell]

Hard to argue with that!

 

[mossyhorns]

Presently 6.5x55 and 120 g Nosler BT and 7 mm 08 with a 140 g Nosler Accubond. Both have worked really well and easily handled by my daughter.

 

[blasted_saber]

My favourite is 308.

 

[burnsy56]

BORING old skool 30.06 or 12ga slug

Would really like to grow up and get a 6.5x55Swede or 7x57

 

[Charlie38]

Caliber.... .308, cartridge 30-06 or 300 WBY

 

[Demonical]

.308, in all the various cartridges.

 

[Bowie]

6.5x55

Really though anything between a .243 and .458 will work fine. The trick is to place your shot well. A deer shot in the guts with a .338 will go a lot further than a deer shot in the heart with a .25/20.

 

[archie_james_c]

Hopefully a 60# Bowtech Invasion with 300 spine FMJs and 125 grain Montecs.

If that fails (which it will) then one of my Kimber Montanas...223 or 270 WSM.

 

[yidava25]

.308 Win., 168 gr. Nosler Custom Competitions, 43 gr. Varget. Lots of bullet for deer and more long range capability than I'll ever have. And stupidly accurate out of my Rem. 700.

 

[powder burner]

When I'm tired of 7mm08 and 30-06 I always grab for my 500 wssssm

 

[teenahlake]

wait your in GP, and use a 30-30? you must hunt the coulee's.
