None of the above! For only deer and hogs my choice would be the 25.06:D

RE: Which caliber would you pick?
 

That is a valid point, however there is not a deer or hog in the southeast that can withstand a hit from a 140 grain Nosler Partition. Federal loads them in their premium line for the 7mm-08 Rem. In a light rifle the 7mm-08 Rem has less recoil than a 308 Win. If you don't believe me get yourself a torn rotator cuff and try them both. I love the 308 Win and own two of them, but I constantly see people on this board selling the 7mm-08 Rem short.

Another vote for the 7mm-08...;)

i live in south carolina a i would chose a 270 win i have shot deer after deer with nothing
but success

RE: Which caliber would you pick?
 

If your hunting the southeast you need something to reach out across a right of way, large field. I would say the top 3 7REm mag,270wsm or 270win. I hunt an area in Alabama where 300 yard + shots are always a possibility and longer if you want.

RE: Which caliber would you pick?
 

30-06 or .270

RE: Which caliber would you pick?
 

Also a fan of the 25.06 but any of the mentioned calibers will do the trick. If you think that there is a possibility that you may what to hunt something bigger(ie:moose or elk) in the future than I would pick either the .308 or 30.06. Also if you are in some out of the way area(oops I forgot my ammo or can't believe I missed all 20 times) some of the mentioned calibers may be hard to find.

Best Wishes

Well I guess I will stick with my browning micro medallion in 7mm08
unless it is nasty and try the ruger all weather .30-06, I just needed a few opinions thanks

RE: Which caliber would you pick?
 

the 30-06 or 7rem mag. plentiful ammo, tons of factory loads, tons of bullets, weights, ect..... then if you want to go after some bigger game down the road your good to go.

RE: Which caliber would you pick?
 

308 or 30.06
