RE: what caliber do you use
 

I don't have a favorite but I have used my 338 win mag and 7mm mag. I hope to get one with my 270 weatherby mag this year too. But I will also be using my 445 supermag Dan Wesson this year in pa as well. I hope to take a couple does and a buck in pa this year.

I use my father's (now mine) .308 Remington Semi. Excellent shooting even thirty years later and plenty of stories to tell.

25-06 or 300 WSM.

RE: what caliber do you use
 

Remington 12ga 870 with rifled barrel and Winchester Supreme 1oz sabots out to ~75 yards (open sights).

30-06 for anything else. I don't use the `06 much though.

RE: what caliber do you use
 

I'v used a couple different calibres for deer thru the years. 30/30, 7mm08, 45/70 & 44 mag. All from lever actions. If I had to pick a favorite I guess it would be the 30/30. I live & hunt in the north east & long shots dont happen much so the 30/30 fits the bill for me pretty well. That being said I like trying different calibres just because I like trying different calibres. :D Brought the 45/70 last year with hard cast cowboy loads, but the whitetail god saw fit to leave me high & dry for gun season :(. Falls coming tho & that Marlin Guide Gun is wanting another try I think. :)

RE: what caliber do you use
 

I am not experienced enough to really be commenting on a variety of calibers. However, I have always had luck with my 35 Remington so that would be my "vote".

RE: what caliber do you use
 

.308

RE: what caliber do you use
 

My first pick from the safe is a 7mm-08 also...:D

RE: what caliber do you use
 

I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY 30-06

RE: what caliber do you use
 

.30-06 and .44mag. Thinking of getting a .243 or 7mm-08 for next year. I never have been real fond of a small caliber, although I really don't know why.

RE: what caliber do you use
 

.300 UM

RE: what caliber do you use
 

I got a 25-06 sako rifle and it is absolutley incredible, it will take down any deer with little recoil and it is very accurate.

RE: what caliber do you use
 

It's all in my sig:D

RE: what caliber do you use
 

i usually reach for my remington 7400 30-06 with a bushnell 3x9x40 and usually behind that is a mossberg 500 12 gauge slug gun with a fully rifled & ported barrel and a tasco red dot scope or a marlin 336w 30-30

RE: what caliber do you use
 

I use a .30-06 right now for everything, as well as my .50 ML. I have a .223 for varmints. I will get a .260 Remington this fall though for deer and antelpe, and such and then use the .30-06 for elk and black bear and such. I have a fistula in my right arm from dialysis, so my shoulder can't take mcuh recoil. I am left handed but right eye dominant.

RE: what caliber do you use
 

Remington, .270. Not to much kick, flat shooting and can drill tacks. I hunt anywhere from point blank to 200 yards, the longest shot i had so far was 140, and i put it right where i was aiming, no problem. I am goin out to colorado elk hunting high in the mountains and i have no problem with bringing it.

RE: what caliber do you use
 

It really depends on where i am hunting. 30-30, 270,280, 308 and 12 and 20 guage with slugs.

RE: what caliber do you use
 

Win m88 .308 for rifle season, Mossberg 500 12 guage with slugs for shotgun season, .45 Kentucky rifle with round balls for muzzleloader season, and a Browning Fusion compound for bow season.

RE: what caliber do you use
 

270 win. or 20ga.

RE: what caliber do you use
 

30-06

Browning BAR in .30-06.........very accurate with hand loads!!!:)

RE: what caliber do you use
 

I have used all kinds of guns in all different calibers, but I just love my .270's. I have used them from 10 yards out to 400 yards. It shoots flater than a 30-06 and has plenty of knock down when it gets there without any dout it would be a .270.

I use a Remington semi-auto .30-06 that was my wife's grandfathers. I've used it for about 15 years now and it performs great. It is also a cherished reminder of a great hunter from yesterdays generation.

RE: what caliber do you use
 

.243 and .308

RE: what caliber do you use
 

jaybird2: Tell me about your 308 - what do you like about the 308 in particular? I'm thinking about getting one in a weatherby svm, but I'm weighing that against a 25-06/243 possibility in either a ruger vt or winchester sporter.

RE: what caliber do you use
 

30-06 here

RE: what caliber do you use
 

Im 14, and i use a 308. with 150 grains. The average shot where i huntin in nebraska is between 100 and 200 yards

RE: what caliber do you use
 

i love my 300wsm but i will also use my tikka T3 lite in 25-06 as cayugad said light recoil and accurate as heck. (sako makes tikka.)

RE: what caliber do you use
 

.208 Rem

RE: what caliber do you use
 

I recently bought a 300 WSM, but have done all my hunting previously with a 30-06

RE: what caliber do you use
 

12 gauge and 50 cal muzzleloader

RE: what caliber do you use
 

My new Ruger .338, but in the past I have been using a .257 Roberts, which I love to death!!

RE: what caliber do you use
 

bar .270, wby 30-06 and wby .300 mag.

RE: what caliber do you use
 

My confidence gun is my trusty Remington 7600 Gamemaster, .30-06, pump action. It is topped with a Bushnell Elite scope with rainguard.

One well placed shot and my deer is down for keeps. I don't usually shoot at full out running deer, so meat damage from my 180gr. bullet is not an issue. It works well in the area that I hunt here in Ontario, which is a mixture of hardwood and cedar swamps. ;)

Remington 270 On my moose 300 mag.

RE: what caliber do you use
 

7mm mag.

(Made the mistake of selling my Model 94 30-30 a few years back. Still miss that gun.) Just got a .220 swift, but don't expect to ever use that for deer.

RE: what caliber do you use
 

huntin the swamps and brush I use my 35....for the long range fields I use the 6mm....both have proven to be great on deer.
