Many calibers for deer. 25-06 6.5x55, 308 and 280. For the big mean critters I use the 50 caliber Muzzle loader, 7600 Rem 30-06 and one of my 45-70's with Garret or Corbon ammo.

RE: what are you using

Browning BLR in .308 handloaded with 165gr Interbonds covers 95% of my rifle hunting chores.

Custom 6.5 Sweedish Mauser handloaded with 129 or 140gr Hornady Interlocks.

Spend the first 2 months of the season hunting with my Hoyt.
