22-250
Barnes bullet and Varget powder using a Savage Model 12 as the weapon of choice. Makes for an awesome combination that will take up to Mule deer size game no problem.

Well this is a tough one. I have killed more with a 300winag than any other rifle. The past couple seasons have been a 25-06 and now 25-06AI sako, this is now my go to for anything less than a bra field hunt.
Have and had almost all calibers but that's my two picks for now. I am playing around with a 338 laupa that is pretty fun for the long range stuff.

My favorite cartridge is the 358 Win. Plenty of power for NH's Black Bear, Moose and Deer. Another season choice is my love for my T/C 50 cal Hawkens. 20+ Deer to it's credit.
Out of state hunts in NY Apple Orchard where I only used my Ruger Mini 30 with 30+ Deer kills.

This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

Hunting deer: .270 WSM
Hunting Elk & Bear: .358 Norma Mag
Dads fav and still close to my heart: 30-06 Winchester, never killed anything with it but it sure is special to me.
