TexasDeerHunter Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Re: Favorite deer calibers Hmmm, tough to pick one. I mainly use a .223 and love it. A close second would be my .260 or .30-06 , both are a little more suited for taking big deer at ranges over 150yds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longislandhunter Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Re: Favorite deer calibers I absolutely love my .243 Winchester for deer. I also like my 30.06, but I'd choose the .243 as my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Re: Favorite deer calibers IN NY State woods a shot beyond 100 yards is extremely rare. So I use my trusty Marlin in 30/30. As a back up rifle in case it breaks or drops...I use a Mod 70 in .308. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
