Re: What is your favorite deer caliber
7 mag, I bought it in 92 for a canadian bear hunt because I didn't think my 270 was enough gun. I fell in love with it and I haven't used the 270 since. 7 mag tally.
6 bucks
13 does
1 black bear
1 pronghorn

Re: What is your favorite deer caliber
For me, it depends...
In the fields, with a scope, it's .280 Remington. Like a .30-06, but with a higher BC and more energy/velocity at 200+ yds. That, and the greater range of bullet weights, compared to .270, is nice, too.
In the woods, with open sights, I'm perfectly happy with a good ol' .30-30 Lever gun.Last edited by calypsocoral; January 16th, 2013 at 02:17 AM.
