Re: my favorites for Deer
Interesting book. I would have guessed there would be more disparity between calibers in drop per inch. I think I'll find that book.

Re: my favorites for Deer
i posted it because i am a big supporter of 30-06 and find it funny when everyone bashes it because their .308 "is good to 1000yds" Originally Posted by BobFromBucks

Re: my favorites for Deer
I've killed most of my deer with a 30-06. With the right bullets they don't take a step. I've shot a couple with a .270 and three with a 7 mag. The 7 you have to use the right bullets or it completely destroys a deer. 150 gr ballistic tips are not a good choice. It looked like I hit it with a car when we pulled the skin off. I just traded it for a .300 win mag. I killed a 200lb hog with it so far. It didn't even twitch. 180 gr PSP's didn't tear up too much meat. I got the .300 mag so I could use the same bullets to reload all my rifles 30-06 and .308 all use the same. I would really like to get a .44 mag or .454 Casull pistol. Never shot a deer with a handgun.
