It is my belief that people should hunt deer with the largest cartridge they can shoot with accuracy and comfort, for some people, that's a 30-06, for some, like me, .308, others, 25-06, and still others, especially youth hunters, .243.

That's fine, go to your limit, and go no further, don't shoota big gun just for the sake of shooting a big gun, but at the same time, don't shoot the smallest possible centerfire rifle you can aim at a deer just for the sake of shooting a small gun.

Just my 2 cents.
