There are a bunch of great calibers out there for hunting deer. I guess a lot of it may depend of where you hunt, the yardage you will be shooting and the size of your deer. I live in South Carolina and my average shot is 250 - 300 yards. I have shot many calibers my my old favorite is a Rem. model 700 .308 caliber. I have a good bit of custom work done do it such as trigger pull, floating the barrell, stock work etc... My wife shoots a .270 and she loves it. Good Luck!! -- CDH

I use 2 different 30-06 rifles a old rebarreled and restocked Enfield and my dad' s Husqvqarna. Both have decent groups, and the options available for handloading is more than enough for my needs.

My favorite caliber for deer, like most people' s I' m sure, is 30cal, what cartridge, well that' s a whole new can of worms!

I' d imagine my favorite cartridge will always be the .30-06 sprng in rifles, although I' m a huge fan of .44mag and .45-70' s, but if I had to choose only one, I' d go with the .30-06

300 Weatherby Magnum or 30-06.
