If you want to build a nice flinch habit like mine, you need to use 12 gauge magnum slugs.

Say, have you noticed their menu and their food quality have really gone down since the Chinese flu?6.5 creedmoor, meet me at the Waffle House
I know they used to have a decent Tbone breakfast that has been gone for years. Racist Cracker Barrel has cut their menu a lot.
All the way is a meal!
Sir we are talking about Waffle House food here!
Yes sir, that was my favorite when I used to go there. There food was never top quality, but it used to be somewhat pretty good. That T-bone was probably on eof the best on the menu. As far as Cracker Barrel...yes sir, they also got really bad...tried their Chicken and Dumplings, OMG, it was like hospital food!

Nope, but all I get is their All Star, Eggs, Ham, Hashbrowns and a Waffle. Here during the CCP Flu, at least the one right near the base, they had the seating spaced out, but eventually closed their entire seating and offered take out for a bit. They had to shut down for a while, but now are going pretty strong, place is usually pretty busy with a bunch of soldiers in the morning after PT. I make a point to go at least once a month, always for breakfast.
Hard to argue with the .243, but I like the good 'ol 30-30 lever action for deer. Many a deer have been taken with that caliber.
I do believe this is the first Waffle House derailment in TNDeer history. Well done guys. We're stepping our game up and thinking outside the box.

I myself like the 308, 44 mag and the all star breakfast at the waffle house.

This, and I have both!
I chose a .270 Win because of the ballistics and recoil. I stay with it for those same reason.
I can shoot from 0 to 300 yards with a 200 yard zero and no holdover. The fact that I have taken black bear with that gun is a plus.
All that said, I agree with what many others have already said. Whatever you shoot best is the best gun for deer. I would say a .243 is the minimum I would carry.

If someone asked, "What is the best all-around caliber for North America" I would choose the 270. But just for deer, I'm going with 308 and 7mm-08.

For me personally for whitetail deer in the environment I have access to hunt I'm a big fan of a 25-06. Really you are starting to split hairs on most of these calibers for whitetail. I think it's more do you hunt open fields with long range shots or more woods with shorter shots and potential brush and limbs that might hit your bullet.
Why, .223 of course!
