I voted 270 which I have killed most of my deer with, but I "prefer" 30-30.

I picked the .308. It is just about a do it all cartridge. But a very close 2nd is the 7mm-08. I use them both, along with others every deer season, and I really like several, but the .308 is a tack driver, and is an inherently accurate round. But no matter what, .... dead is dead, and everyone has an opinion that for them is valid.
