I have shot whitetail with every thing from 30-30, 22-250, 243, 270, 30-06, 25-06, 300win, and pistols 357, 44mag, 454. I personally like my 30-06 because of the versitility, I can make the load exactly what I want. pistol I cant pick a fav. I like my 454 and 44mag. Both work very well.

As for accuracy and speed you cant beat a 22-250. The only problem is the knock down power. I have yet to see a deer run from my 22-250, I just fill a little insecure about the size. If you like accuracy and speed you cant beat a 22-250. The only other guns I have that are as accurate is the 243, and 25-06. But as far a versitility I could get by with just a 30-06. I can load for varmits, whitetail, or bigger game.
