just to clarify . the 30/06 and the 308 are ballistic twins. the 308 has less recoil which in most cases makes it the better choice of the two in some opinions. the man who invented the 243 took it to col. elk hunting for 15 years and took elk every year the most rounds he ever put into an animal was 2. ive seen people with 300 mags do 3 or 4 shots. so it was just bulet placement. in my opinion every caliber out there is a viable deer caliber in the right hands. i have taken deer with my 22 hornet. i also have used a 45/70 . every round mentioned here is a great round everyone is corect. its just personal preferance. i personaly dont like getting my shoulder murdered so i like the 223 wssm with 68 grainsp. this hot round has put several big deer down for the count for me. but you pick yours.
