30-30 for close shots and nastalgia
270 win for the do all end all rifle
300 wby for the I don't like front shoulders anyway rifle
Shoulders are over rated and are a pain to roast unless you have a huge roaster. I use them for sausage so, blowing the bejesus out them really doesn't matter. I've made one to many "poor" shots trying to save them and found out it was a foolish cause.

I was gonna start this off by asking, what is it that you guys don't understand about the word "Best"? But, I decided not to ask...  Best, like beauty, is in the mind of the observer... If you were to ask me this question 65 years ago, I would have said: 35 Rem 30-06 270 Win Today, my answer is: 270 Win 30-06 35 Rem

It appears time for some enterprising soul to add up and decide the most popular deer round, looks like 270 to me.

The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
