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.

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. 
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".
