Anything with a projectile size in the 6.5mm to 7mm range. I'm becoming a big fan of the 6.5 Rogue (6.5x55AI with 37deg shoulder). Mainly because of the accuracy with 140 grain SST's.

8x57 & 308 just seem to take the challenge out of killing whitetails.

I'm pretty happy with my .25-06, with my .30-06 as my backup. If I'm hunting close, then my 444.

My one whitetail was killed with a 30-06 and 150gr NBT. Might not be my favorite, but its what I had at the time.
I haven't shot a whitetail since (mostly hunt mule deer), but I'm thinking that a trim short action would be my choice now. Maybe an M700 Mountain Rifle, M7 Stainless or maybe a Montucky.
Anything from 243 to 308 would be my choice in cartridges. Pretty hard to beat the 260 or 7mm-08 overall.

And I guess it could be said that a Yugo is all you need to get from point A to point B. Some of us just like a little more in life.

I wish we could legally kill deer witrh 22 centerfires, but we can't, so... This year I may pop one with my 25-20. I try to rotate my deer rifle stock and it's worked its way to the front of the safe. I've got a Ruger 77 being made into a 260 Rem, and that may be this year's Cat's Meow of Deer Killers (they all work----that's why we call them deer rifles). Or maybe the 6-06 this year. It's tough having so many choices
