1st may say some great pictures and great post on what hunting rifle and caliber/cartridge everyone prefered was a wonderful read on all posts. i have shot animals with smaller caliber bullets to bigger bullets but my favorite is still just a 25 caliber bullet ,as far as a rifle i still just use a single shot rifle i see no reason for a repeater for deer or antelope hunting. but i still like a fast cartridge so for the last 20 some years like i have posted before still using my old Ruger #1 Brux barrel 257 Weatherby mag. and last fall " 2022 " i used Hammer Hunter .257 bullet 103 gr. at 3680 FPS was a great combo last fall and very accurate too. but when with my young grandson hunting with me in my stand again this next fall " 2023 " and myself turning 70 i will be starting to use another single shot in another Ruger #1 257 Roberts less recoil for the both of us ,but still a accurate 25 caliber bullet. thanks for posting too, Pete53
