[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 757767, member: 711"] The 30-30 is a traditional deer gun, and has probably killed more deer than any other caliber, but you need to learn its limitations, range being chief among them. Same goes for the SKS/AK 7.62x39. Very similar ballistics, with accuracy not as good. Premium bullets make the .243 an excellent deer cartridge, so if you go that route, don't stint on ammo. 30-06, .308, .270 are all good, but don't overlook the .280 Remington. Some experts think it's the best of all deer killers. I'm carrying a .375 H&H this fall, both to annoy some friends of mine and to reduce meat loss (you can eat right up to the bullet hole with those big boomers). CB [/QUOTE]
