Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting What is Your Favorite Whitetail Round????

7/08 280 7saum

.270

Hornady .308 150gr BTSPs.

First choice: my 45-70 Guide Gun with 405 gr Remington JFP's...

Close second: my Ruger 77 MkII in 260 Rem, with either a 129 gr Hornady Interlock, or a 125 gr Nosler Partition...

Third place (tie): My Win 94 in 30-30, with a 170 gr Sierra FP, or my VZ-24 8x57 Mauser with 180 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips...

Honorable mention goes to my 6mm Rem with a Barnes 115 gr Original...though this coming fall I'll be trying the 95 gr Combined Technology ballistic Tip for this cartridge...

Did I mention my 8mm-06 AI with a 200 gr Accubond...?

That's what I get for having too many favorites...

They all kill deer and hogs

7mm-08, 120 grain Fusion

.308 with 165's

338 rum 225 interlock

.270 WIN with a 130 grain C&C, closely followed by either a .308 WIN/.30-06 SPRG shooting a 165 grain C&C.

7mm-08 with 139gr Hornady Light Mag or 140gr fusion
6.5x55 with 140gr Nosler Custom Accubond or 140gr Fiocchi SST

I like the little 223AI, but the last couple seasons I've been using the 243/243AI pretty heavily and been very impressed with it.

130gr TTSX out of a 30/06. Hitz hard; cutz through them like a hot knife through budda.

.270 w/ 150gr Speer HC

25-06 Nosler 110 grain Accubond.

30/40 Krag factory, out of Contender

708 with 150NBT.

For now, my .270 Win flingin 110grain TTSXs

7.62x39 120gr

7x57, 140 grain NP's, H4350
.308, 165 Sierra SPBT, Varget
30.30 160 gr leverevolution (new favorite)
.45 cal, 275 gr Powerbelt, 80 grains Blackhorn 209.

Any of the 4 of them.

After years of hunting deer and killing them with different rifle rounds. My choice today is the good old 7x57 Mauser with 160 gr bullet

44 MAG carbine for tree stand hunting.

30-30 for forests and foothills.

308 for open prairie and alpine areas.
