Have to admit, I bounce around as I am interested in terminal ballistics. Have shot them with .223s through 45/70s in rifles, but nearly half were shot with handguns. All my wild boar have been with handguns.

I could be perfectly happy with most centerfire rifles for deer in any caliber from .260 Rem (Never owned a .257 Roberts but that would probably do also) to .376 Steyr (happen to have one and it works great - though it was a friend who shot the deer with it).

In some locales I would be perfectly happy with an ordinary 30-30 (killed my first deer with one and have never dropped one quicker with anything).

Riposte.
