Heck I voted for .260, but a .243 will put them down at those yards.

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

i use all of them.

7mmWSM

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

ya thats it do u have one.

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

Never owned one in 7mmWSM, but have in 7mmMag!

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

I chose the .243 (Although I'm biased lol) It's the only rifle I've hunted with and it does a good job. I have killed about 6 deer with it in my few years of hunting so far, all good clean shots. The size of the rifle though, doesn't really matter, as long as it is a legal caliber and you always place your shots in the vital area.

7mm MAG. I like to watch them fall.

A 308 is a great all round weapon
for you it will get them even at 300 yards if ever need be.
a 25-06 a great vermit game at 50 to 150 yard your not useing it for its design. A 243 (My wifes weapon) great at 20 tof 120 yds 150 yds neck only shoots. I prefer a 7mm 50 to 400 he's down
The most important thing is whats comfortable it your hands.

Some people get 300 mags or 280just to namea couple.
shoot it a couple of times and are affaid of the recoil![&o]
when it comes time for the kill they pull the shot because there affaidof the kick!! Hope this helps good luck! Also pray about it. God never misses!:D

I'd say .308, it's an accurate cartrige, but you should get a 7mm-08, it's also as powerful as the .270 and it inheritsaccuracy from the .308.

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

any of the calibers you chose will do the job.. i hunt with a 325 wsm and its awsome.... a 30-30 will do what you want to do at 150 especially with the new lever- evolution ammo

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

ya any of those guns will drop them!!!:D:):D:):D:):D:)

So your saying it's not the size of the boat but the motion of the ocean?[8D]

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

I use a .300 Win Mag. Perhaps a bit of an overkill but it is what I prefer. I have taken deer with 30/30, 30/06, .50 Cal Muzzleloader and the .300 Win Mag.

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

Any of the cartridges mentioned except for the shotgun will do the job easily.

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

Too many great cartridges to name.

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

All of them will work. For me it's been a .243 for over 20 years. Made some 300 yd shots on some pretty good size deer, even hogs at that distance.
My 9 year old took his first deer, a spike last year with a 195 yd shot and drilled him to the ground with a high shoulder shot. Theres something about the .243, with no recoil people seem to shoot really good with it. Just put it where you want and squeeeeeze. Ive owned several makes in the .243 and they all shot at least an inch at a 100. I have had no luck with the .270, couldnt get 3 different guns to group well.

Let me ask you, when you posted that, were you sober?

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

I have several different rifles that I use or have used. My favorite is the one I bought for my wife two years ago. Remington Model 7 .260 SS youth model. I have killed several deer with this rifle, anywhere from 50 to 300+ and I have never had a deer yet take more than 2 steps after impact. I have used 30-30, 7mm Rem Mag, 300 WSM, 7mm SA UM (short action ultra mag), and shotguns and the 260 is my favorite. When my wife doesn`t go hunting, her rifle does, because I take it every chance I get.

If you are going to shoot game animals deer and smaller, the 260 is perfect.

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

Well I just saw that i was the first person to vote for shotgun cause if you dont think a shotgun will drop a deer a 50 yards YOU ARE NUTS i hunt with my 12 guage winchester semi-auto. its all you can use in SE lower michigan but i shoot winchester Supreme's and I site it in at 100 yards and its deadon at 25 and about 2 inches high at 50 yards and about 1 1/1 inches low at 150 it is very flat shooting and I love it!

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

omg not this again, THEY ALL KILL DEER, just pick one YOU like

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

LMAO too many people on here want to much advice, a little advice is fine but there is a such thing as too much. have the fun is learning on your own and testing diffrent products

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

For me, I enjoy talking calibers, just like at deer (man) camp. we go round and round every year and every weekend, and it's still fun.

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

All I got to say is 30-06.

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

Everyone has a favorite deercaliber,mine is the 7mm-08...;)

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

i have never shot a deer before(because i just started) but i really like my remington 870 12g, i shoot 1 in groups at 100yds

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

For 50-150 yards, the .308 gets my vote.

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

At 50-150 yards, I would use a .45-70 but that is just me. I hate tracking deer and like to see them drop in their tracks. :D

RE: Wat should I deer hunt with?
 

I have used everything its just the amount of recoil you want. My 12 gauge slug gun will reach out to 175 yards. Yes I said it 175 yrds , not to burst anyones bubble.
