RE: Which Caliber for Whitetail?
 

If it' s not offered in a 25-06,I would pick the 7mm-08...;)

RE: Which Caliber for Whitetail?
 

260 would be my choice.

RE: Which Caliber for Whitetail?
 

I really like the 25.06 as well as the 30.06. It all depends on what factors you want to take into consideration. If you do nto reload, then ammo is a big factor and you can find much more ammo choices in 30.06 than any other caliber. If you reload, then that' s not a factor and I would go with a 25.06 or the 260.

I currently hunt with a 25.06 and a 30.06, but will be looking to get a 260 barrel for my T/C Encore rifle within the next year or so.

.308 Excellent at 250 yards!!

For whitetails out 300 270 win, 2506, 308 or 7mm08 all would fit the bill nicely. No real need for a mag or a 3006 for deer only. If you want a bigger gun for extra distance, ability, game or just because I would say the 7 rem mag or the 300 win mag. The 7 rem mag will be cheaper to by shells for over the counter and give you a higher BC. The 300 will give you a choice of large grain bullets if dangerous game is a possibilty and more umf downrange for shooting large game at longer distance. Personally I use 7 rem mag for my all arounder and am 100% satisfied, it has taken a number of deer at ranges from 50-350, varmits at over 300-500, elk & moose from 40 to 200. IMO as versitile and I think better than the 3006 for my purpose.

I shoot a 308. Exellent cartridge, easy to find bullets at reasonable prices.

I don' t know ,the 7mm has a pretty flat trajectory.

Bigbuck270...I' m a lefty and have decided on a Tikka Whitetail Hunter. I plan on adding a Leupold VXIII 3x10 50mm.
