To each their own, but to own one of each is the goal.

32 Win. Special, 44 mag, 8x57, '06, 25-06, 444 Marlin, 22-250, 35 Rem, or something I've forgotten? Them's the ones that quickly come to mind.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

They can be killed handily with most any centerfire round with proper bullet construction and placement being the key. However many have their pet deer slayer round for logical and/or illogical reasons. However it is hard to beat the rounds based on the .308 case as a general all around efficient, shootable, reliable killers of deer. But 'I' don't like the .243 but think the .260, 7/08, .308, .338, and the .358 are super. In recent years I have settled on the .260 as about perfect for me. PH

Interesting cross section of cartridges. Got the chores done and it is raining so had some time to kill and I did a head stamp count to determine the most popular Whitetail cartridge.
If a post listed more than one cartridge, I did not count any of them.
Top Five Ranking
7MM-08 and 270 Win tied for first place
308 Win
25-06 and 30-06 tied for third place
30-30 and 7x57 tied for fourth place
257 Roberts and 260 Rem tied for fifth place

Depends on where I'm hunting....
Either 30-30 or 270, both are shooting handloads.
