isnt it cool when we can argue about what caliber is best to kill a deer..
im with rocky on this one and consider everthing above 243 to kill deer with plenty authority.
hmmmmmmm but what have i killed deer and elk with. i may have had alot of calibers. have alittle varity now but there is one caliber that has done it all for me its taken 5-7 deer, cant remember for sure how many. ranges have been 20yds to 300 plus. and its also taken one bull elk.
it just so happens that this is a 270win. the rifle hasnt done me wrong. it was my first rifle and by all rights should have been my last, except for i somehow grew this infactuation to give dang near everything on the list a try.
ive had a few 3006's but they have been parted from me for awhile now.
at the present moment my main hunting rigs are my 25.06 the 25.06 is the never get rid of rifle. im kinda scared of recoil so i realy like the 25. its also so dang acurate to exstended ranges that itl be with me forever.
the other rifle thats set up is my winchester featherweight. this is chamberd in 270wsm .277 i wonder why picked the 270wsm over all the new short mag calibers out there.
i also just picked up 300win, ive been wanting one for awhile now and i ran into this rifle. the possiblities for this rifle are endless. the rifles i hunt with tend to get used as varmit rifles alot dureing the off season. this rifle shouldnt be any exsception. if it fairs well on coyotes and rock chucks itl be going deer and elk hunting with me come bigame season. it also may go on a moose hunt later on. but it surely want replace my smaller calibers. and chances are it will be used strickly as my elk rig.
so all in all i kinda like everything out there thats 300win and smaller. 300win is biggest baddest magnum caliber ill ever own.
the 277 calibers will more than likly continue to be the staples of my deer rifle line up.

i couldnt imagine what it would be like to take more than one deer in season. my guess is alot more work in our country. you can dang near take in season what we can in life time. thats cool
