That's why you don't see any deer, using the wrong caliber!



(Actually that makes about as much sense as some of the other answers we get Hoyt)

7.62mm but I use it in an XM134 mini gun, sometimes I need all the help I can get, my eyes aren't what they used to be.

.243

Definately 30-06 for best all round. Varible weight bullets and powder charges. Can be hot light weight varmit shell to heavy weight big game shell, depending on desired bullet type, weight and powder charge. Top "all round" gun for any game in this country. In my opinion, if you only had one rifle for everything, this one would be really hard to beat.

too many choices, not enough time to use them all!

I use a .243 or .270, because that is what I am used too, perfect for hogs and hill country deers

Just use whatever you feel most Comfortable with!!! I personally like a .243 in open area from100-200yds, but in cover/brushy areas or longer shots I choose the .270

25-06

After this season I recommend the .257 Roberts,low recoil and plenty of power for 99% of Texas hunting.

.270 all round
7MM Mag for covering long shots on large open areas
.44 mag ballistic tip for sneak and stalk and shooting through heavy grasses and brush.

My faves. Curious about 12ga slugs as a sub for 44mag... just never tried them.

.308 Remington all the way one of the most accurate rounds and has the most data on it for long and short range shots

Hill Country - .243
South Texas - 7 Mag

Can't go wrong with .30-06 or .270.

Love the pic of the Savage Precision Carbine .308, what a tack driver!

I use a Ruger .270 and love the gun. I'm not the most experienced hunter and I am very confident I will hit anything I pull the trigger on and it will fall shortly after. That's real important to me. I did neck shots this year and everything dropped on the spot. My chest shots have fun off less than 50 yds. That's on deer, everything else tumbles away from me about two feet

Love mine 3/8in. group with factory ammo handloads i have yet to find was she likes but only 1 in. at 200 with handloads but great gun its a 308 too perfect for everything

The centerfire I have in my hand when I see one.

Interesting read...funny, I would expect pretty much the same replys up here in Canada.

Personally I'd vote .270 but having said that, I find the older (wiser?) I become, the more I lean smaller caliber/better bullet.

Using a .243/TSX nowadays. Dead is dead.

308

308 ME

I haven't found it yet so I get to buy more guns. (At least I've got my wife sold on that excuse! )

.270

I'll get in on this and just say my 1st deer, a doe, downed with a 32-20win and my 1st buck fell in his tracks from my 300sav. Must be my age,eh? But a 243win is what I use now.
