Favorite deer catridge/rifle.

[Sakohunter264]

The last few bucks I’ve killed have been with a 6.5x55 model 70 custom shooting a 120gmx. Before that I was primarily a .257wby or .264WM guy.

It's hard to imagine anything better than the 270 win. But a 7/08 would be darn near as good, and it fits in a short action.

I love both my CR Mesa 7mag or rem 700 mountain 7mm08.

I enjoy hunting white tale with .243 the federal 100g white tail is a great round

Most years I grab my 6mm Remington Ruger No. 1 for deer or antelope, but the 7mm Mag is getting the nod for everything this year. It's my dad's 1965 Remington 700 that I've updated with a synthetic stock, new trigger, and decent glass. Every time I think I need a new rifle, I look at those two and realize they handle everything I hunt.

Hell it's which ever rifle I grab on my way out the door. Mostly these four calibers 257 Roberts, 25-06, 260 Rem, 7mm-08 get the nod during deer season.

I'm a fan of the 243, cartridge is up for grabs Hornady SST, Winchester XP, etc.

Shad71 I like all the cartridges you mentioned. Especially 257 and 7mm08. I have used .358 Norma for bigger game but not deer. In fact I still have a lot of brass left over.

For whitetail specifically my favorite of the cartridges I've owned so far is the 25 WSSM and 110gr accubond

 

[smy1]

257 roberts ackley, 1909 mauser conversion, 100gr Barnes TSX, 4-12 leupold scope, boyds laminate stock. Also use 280 ackley, stiller, mcmillen swirley, 4-16 nikon, 140 nosler accubonds. Sight both 3" high at 100yds and hold right on to 300+ yds. Hunt oklahoma whitetails from stand and new mexico mulies spot and stalk. Freezer full!

 

[Jaysz]

.270

 

[DropTyne]

I love my 270 for mulies. Yes it's out of fashion, but there is never drama.

I have a Remington 700 ADL in 6mm Remington and it’s one of my favorite rifles. Just a shame it’s so hard to find ammo for (I’m not currently set up to reload).

 

[GreyGhost]

.270, 145 grain ELDX.

 

[WormSportsman]

6.5Wby RPM 140gr accubonds

In my youth 300 win mag, started with a rem BDL, moved to a tikka superlite.......I used a Christensen arms ridgeline in 7-08 for a few years and this year used a weatherby 300wsm. I had a 6.5prc built on a defiance action with proof barrel and mcm stock that I will see what it can do over the summer on coyotes and then probably use it on deer next year.....wish I would have built a 300wsm on that action instead but hindsight.

I hunt a lot of public ground. Muzzleloading season gives me a bit of a break from the orange army. So though I have nice centerfires, lately its been a 58 caliber hawken for my hunting.

 

[elk_hntr]

270 win with Barnes 135 grain tsx. But I’d love to get a 257 Weatherby for a deer gun.
