.270 the majority of the time, but this year I have a new stand with close shots so I use a .30-30.


A mans got to know his limitations.

7mm-08, .270, .25-06, .260, 6.5 Creed, .308, .257wby

Favorite deer caliber and what I think is the perfect deer caliber for the Southeast 7mm-08. 2nd favorite is the .257WBY simply because its a laser and hits like lightning

Mostly a .30-06 or a .308. Occasionally I'll take out a .25-06 or a .500 Mag S&W. Haven't hunted with a .30-30 in years and years.

Mainly 30-06 or 308. Got a 243, 25-06, and a 44 mag I take occasionally. Bought the youngin a 6.5CM for Christmas. Thinking about rebarreling a -06 to 35 Whelen or 338WM and really fighting the urge for a 26 or 28 Nosler.

Ive carried a bunch and shot deer with several. Shot the most with 30-06,7-08 and a fair amount with 50 cal muzzleloader.
My next gun is going to be AR 300 BLK. Im also hankering at the moment for a 20-ga. slug gun. Hope that yearning will pass.
