Which Caliber?
 

What' s your favorite caliber for whitetails, or like animal if you don' t have whitetails?

RE: Which Caliber?
 

I' ll start..... 270

RE: Which Caliber?
 

I' m with Rob, .270 is hard to beat. I have a ruger m77 with a stainless steel barrel and an all weather black stock.

RE: Which Caliber?
 

30.06

RE: Which Caliber?
 

I have always liked the .270 Winchester, a great round for whitetails! :)

RE: Which Caliber?
 

I love my 30/06 but the last 2 seasons used my new 7MM Mag starting to love that also

RE: Which Caliber?
 

I guess ill vote 270 wsm, even though i havent purchased the rifle yet

RE: Which Caliber?
 

it' d have to be my smith and wesson 30-06 BOB;)

RE: Which Caliber?
 

I use a 243win and a 25-06 ,just about all the time .

RE: Which Caliber?
 

I have to say without a doubt its gotta be my 30.06.

RE: Which Caliber?
 

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.

RE: Which Caliber?
 

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

RE: Which Caliber?
 

I' d cast my vote for .264 or 6.5 but you don' t have it listed

RE: Which Caliber?
 

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.

RE: Which Caliber?
 

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)

RE: Which Caliber?
 

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

RE: Which Caliber?
 

I just love my .308' s, can never have too many!:D

RE: Which Caliber?
 

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

RE: Which Caliber?
 

You didn' t add my favorite. The grand 280!

RE: Which Caliber?
 

#1 308 win
#2 270 win

I just bought a 300 winmag. I think it will see some use this fall.

RE: Which Caliber?
 

Ruger M77 30 06!!!

RE: Which Caliber?
 

I like the 25-06 for deer...:)

RE: Which Caliber?
 

.30-06, out of a Rem 7400, with horny #3075 180 gr fbsp,48.4gr H380.Accurate and doesn' t hammer the action.About 2600 fps no complaints from the deer.:)

RE: Which Caliber?
 

I have a 1903 Springfield I like, but I' ve been looking at getting a newer rifle in .270 or 7-08.

RE: Which Caliber?
 

I' m a magnum fan. 300 Win Mag with a 180 Hornady SST. That should start something. I hope.

RE: Which Caliber?
 

.308 Win. T/C Encore pistol, caliber wasn' t listed so I didn' t vote.

RE: Which Caliber?
 

I love my 30-06. Where I hunt if you don' t put ' em down quick someone else is likely to get ' em and the .06 does it.

RE: Which Caliber?
 

I' m with basserman.... .280!

RE: Which Caliber?
 

7mm Rem. Mag all the way

RE: Which Caliber?
 

Had my .270 for almost 30 years and can' t see any reason to change. If it won' t do the job, I don' t want to mess with the critter.

RE: Which Caliber?
 

I do love the 270 as it is perfect for most jobs. My 270 is on steroids as it is a 270 weatherby mag and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. BUt I also love no LOVE the 7mm lines too.

RE: Which Caliber?
 

I shot my first few deer with a 7mm remington mag with 150gr bullets. It worked like a sledge hammer, never lost a deer, never had a deer take a step. I then got a Browning 243 at a good price and decided to use it. Shot a nice deer at 280 yards, both shoulders, watched it drop in its tracks. It was nice to be able to see the bullet hit through the scope, never could do that with the 7mm. Well that about did it for my 7mm, after that I used the 243 for all my deer hunting, even sold the 7mm. I use fed prem 100gr SBT and have killed 11 deer with 11 shots, never lost a deer never had one go more than 25 yards and watched the impact on all of them.

RE: Which Caliber?
 

Right now I would say 30-06, but I just bought a 300 ultra mag. So I might be changing my mind in October.:eek:

RE: Which Caliber?
 

Uh, 30 would be my favorite caliber. Thet is what you meant isn' t it? Grandaddy allays said you should take a man at his word. So 30 is my favorite caliber, follered by 35 and then 45.

RE: Which Caliber?
 

270 flat and fast
