RE: What is your favorite deer caliber?
From the list the .243 is the only cartridge I have killed anything with. And it is deffinately NOT my favorite deer round.
I have used a .264 win mag mostly and a .35 whelen and a .300 savage and a couple different muzzleloaders (.58 cal, .54 cal and .50 cal with saboted bullets) and a 12 ga. with sabboted slugs.
I think my Sav. lever 99 in .300 sav. is probably my favorite.

If I had to choose from the list I think eather a .308 or 7mm08 in a lever, pump or semiauto would be my choice.
