Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting What Rifle Have You Killed The Most Deer With

My old .300 WM.. For years it was the only big game rifle I used...

Remington 700 BDL in 280 Rem with now discontinued 140 grain Nosler Flat Base.

30-06 !

Crazydog...seeing you haven't posted on here but a couple times. Unless you have been reading the forum for a while, you might not yet know that the Core-Lokts no longer kill deer like they once did. The BC isn't high enough for one thing. They're not fast enough as they rarely meet the advertised speed. They just don't expand like the new stuff does, etc. The deer haven't found out yet, but the hunters are ahead of the game (pun intended). So, you will learn. One day soon, as soon as the deer find out they can no longer fall dead with the CL's, they will simply walk off when shot with the old green box ammo. However, until the deer know what many shooters already know, I will continue to shoot them. Everyone in my part of LA knows that these WT's around here are not exceptionally bright.

PS...nice pics. Thanks for sharing and welcome to the Fire!

Many a different cartridge used by hunters here.

Thanks for the welcome. I was a lurker for quite a while. I'm glad our mule deer can't read or access hunting forums.

For years I lived next to a muzzleloader/shotgun only zone in Montana (there aren't many of them) and killed up to 5 whitetails a year with a .54 cal Lyman Plains rifle cap gun. It was generally <40 yard proposition. I'd just sit with my back to a big 'ol cottonwood in the afternoon and wait for deer to start moving closer to dark. Iron sights, round ball, eat right up to the hole! Nothing complicated about it... it just takes time, and some days not even much of that!

We use a bunch of different calibers. I have a Winchester 73 in 38-40. It was made in 1884. I’m planning on sitting in my bow stand this fall to kill a doe. It the only rifle I own that hasn’t been hunting with me.

Used a Model 70 in 243 for about 25 years then went to a 270 and now only use 6.5s. (6.5x55, 6.5x285, 6.5 Creedmoor)

This old girl is on her 3rd barrel...Sako AV in 300 Wby with a new Lilja flute tube. Went with a KDF Slimline break this time around. Guess, I’m getting soft in the shoulder with age. Killed a lot of deer and elk with this one...😎

It’s down to two rifles for me and I can’t be for sure which one I killed more deer with. The rifles in question, both no longer owned by me, are an old sporterized Lee Enfield in British 303 and a Ruger Mark II all weather in .243

Cartridge wise it would be the 7mm-08.

Dating my self here, Model 70 FWT 270, purchased new for me by my Father in 1962. I was a very lucky kid. Still in the front row of the safe. Still scoped with the original Weaver 4X steel tube.

Dating my self here, Model 70 FWT 270, purchased new for me by my Father in 1962. I was a very lucky kid. Still in the front row of the safe, scoped with the original Weaver 4X steel tube. Hang tag says $139.95, a lot of money back then for a working guy like my Dad. He is missed.

Rem 700 BDL in 25-06 bought used at LGS back in the early 90's. Has accounted for over 30 deer between myself, my kids, my friends and their kids. It is called the "meat gun" for a reason. Also has over 40 coyotes, 3 bobcats, a fox or two, a couple 100 prairie dogs and crows and a couple of hogs.

Ruger M77R, Tang safety purchased in 1978. The grand daddy .30-06 with Hornady Frontier 150 gr spirepoints. I remember buying them on sale for $3.79 a box. Then started reloading. IMR4895 and 150 gr sierra spitzer boat tails
