    I use a 6.5x55. Just got a 30/06 and havent even fired it yet. Hope to see the results from it next fall.

    I love my .308 Winchester but the edge goes to my 7MM Rem.Mag.

    is the 7mm a generic vote for all 7mm' s?If so I vote for the 7mm-08 probably the most under rated best all around deer only caliber out there.

    Comeon- am I the only 8mm hunter here? It is either that or 50 cal BP (even during rifle season, my Thompson Hunter Bolt is one of the most acurate rifles I own)

    I like the 30.06 and the 25.06, both are excellent deer rifles.

    Favorite is the old ' 06! Love the 30' s for an all around caliber. 7mm' s come a close second!
