.30-06 for one reason. I inherited one and am comfortable with them since that is what I have shot most of my life. One other reason, when I go somewhere and leave my ammo at home, or run out at the end of the year, anyplace that sells ammo will have some. That should be a consideration, not to the extreme like I say, but ease of finding ammo and a variety of loads, bullet types, etc. is something to keep in mind. Plus, if you ever go out west for large game, it will work fine there too.
I love a .25-06 and those that have them haven't complained that I've heard.
My son killed more deer with a .243 than anything. If I found one that I really liked, I'd have no problem making it my go to.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

I thought about a .260 but a very knowledgeable gunsmith told me its hard to find a good accurate factory round for them and most people reload. What about a 25-06? All signs point to a .308 though. I must disagree with this gunsmith. We shoot the nosler 130 gr ABs and it will cut its own hole.

I must disagree with this gunsmith. We shoot the nosler 130 gr ABs and it will cut its own hole. Shot those exact same bullets in a tikka .260 and could barely get 1.5" shot a Winchester power point in the same gun and got under 1" so its pretty subjective but I have heard others that own 260's say the same thing that the guns are picky.

We picked up a Ruger Predator .260rem not to long ago and haven't found a factory load it won't shoot. I'll probably reload for it as well since it is so much fun to shoot.

.270 best all around caliber. I shoot 30/30, 308, 7mm, 243, 223, 257and my .270 is the best for green patches. I use the 30/30 in the woods in my climber, 7mm for powerlines and clearcuts with long shots.
Anything worth doing, is worth doing right, or it's not worth doing at all! ------------------------------

Your 7mm will do what you want for it to. Id say if your getting a pencil whole its the ammo. That being said my main deer gun is a 25-06
Only accurate rifles are interesting.
