[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 5796740, member: 18110"] This should be interesting. 1) list the centerfire calibers you have hunted with... mostly interested in deer hunting. Indicate if you killed with them. 2) if anything extraordinary about one, please indicate so. 3) if you've settled on something, please list reasons why. Not interested in shotguns or MLs for this survey. For me... (K) indicates kill .222 .223 (k) .243 win (k) .260 rem (k) 7/08 (k) .308 (k) 6.5 Grendel 7.62 x 39 6.5 CM (k) 6.5x55 Swede (k) 7mm Mauser 8mm Mauser 30/06 (k) 30-30 win 35 rem (k) .300 Weatherby 45-70 .357 mag .44 mag (k) 25-06 25 wssm (k) .270 win 6.5 x 284 Norma (k) 22-250 (k) .303 British I think that's all of them. I don't remember any of them killing a deer any deader than the others. The only deer I ever lost was shot with a 35 rem. I've settled on the 243 win. The light recoil is easy on my bad shoulder. I've also taken quite a few deer with it, and it gets the job done. Serves double duty for yotes, so...win win. [/QUOTE]
