HAHAHAHAHA!

Rosie O'Donnell... damn! hehehe
I'll have to agree, bigger aint always better.
I like the 7mm-08 or the 30-06. Both launching Hornady Light Magnums, 139gr. and 165gr.SST respectivley.

Depends on what gun I'm holding that day. 257 Roberts 117 gr btsp or 90 gr bthp, 6.5x55 140 gr interlok, 270 WSM 130 gr ballistic tip, 30-06 180 gr ballistic silver tip, 35 Whelen 200 gr interlok. That's all for deer. If the opportunity for larger game came up I'd be doing some load development for the Interbond, Accubond, Partition and maybe the the new tipped TBBC's. Perhaps even the triple shocks.

wow......

All these replies and not one for the .270 yet

I will go with it'sbetter looking cousin 7mm-08 and really stir the pot with my all time close/bush gun favorite 41 mag. JMO and whatI use in Indiana and KY most generally, besides a 375 H&H 45/70 7mm Mag, 270 win, 243 win, 204 Ruger, 280 rem, 12ga rifled sabot, 20 ga rifled sabot, 50cal ML and so on and on>>>>

If it makes you feel better one of my brothers and his son both use .270s and shoot the Federal Premium 130gr Sierra GameKings...They have killed 50-60 deer with those...

My other brother uses a .280 and his son uses a 7mm-08, both with factory 140gr CoreLokts...Between them they have killed another 150 or so...

Once you pile up those deer you can't tell which caliber did the killing...Dead is Dead...

Frankly the deer my cousin shoots with his .270 WSM run farther than others, but he ain't much of a shot...

I have to many favorite ones to really say, but I reckon if I had to choose just one it would be my rem 30-06 shooting 165gr serria bthp pushed by 56.5gr of IMR 4350. This is the first rifle that I ever bought many many years ago and the last one that I would ever part with.

7mm-08 with 140gr Core-Lokt bullets or a .270 Win with 130gr Federal Fusion.

Short range brush gun: The timeless class ol' .30-30 with a 170gr Winchester Silvertip.

Long range do-it-all: .308 with a 150gr Federal Vital-ShokBallistic Tip.

7mm rem mag with 150gr NBT(handloaded using rem brass,Fed.215GMM primer & RL22 powder). Loadyields +3100FPS & .5 groups in my rifle.
