Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada What's the perferred deer cartridge for guys in Canada?

My prefered rifles are T/C Contender carbines my son and I shot 3 very nice Coastal blacktail deer this last fall.

First was shot with a 45-70 barrel loaded with 325gr FTX @ 1850fps.

Second was shot with a wildcat 308Bellm = 444 Marlin brass necked down with 308 Win dies 150gr Rem Core Loks @ 2620fps.

Last was shot with my favorite = 375JDJ loaded with 260gr Accubonds @ 2280 - 2300fps.

This year I am grabbing my 18.5" barreled OD green Robinson Arms XCR-L in 6.8SPC loaded with 95gr TTSX @ 2825fps.
