A .270 and that is more than plenty. The more I see a .243 being used the better it seems to be very capable.

54 cal smoke pole
300 weatherby mag for a rifle

Now I use a 50 cal ML and 7 mm RM. Both of which are plenty and work perfectly for my hunting situations.

A .270 in my opinion is the perfect deer rifle. I just bought a .454 cassul for hogs, but I plan on shooting deer with it also.
