If you were going to start a new Contender rifle, what caliber would you consider for whitetail deer and hogs?
If you are looking for lots of factory ammo offerings then something in the 6mm, 6.5mm or 7mm area will work very well. I'm a big fan of the 7mm-08 and it will work on everything you might want to shoot.
If you're loading your own ammo then you can go all sorts of directions. You've been given some good advice on caliber selection.
