Favorite Calibers?

[Folk Rock Farm]

So when I go out with my buddy, we always use a good ol' classic .308, but I've never tried anything other than that. Just curious if anyone has a preference for anything else and why?

I began with a Winchester Model 94 in 30.30, shot a bunch with it.
Since then I've used a 30.06, and a .243. Both did a great job with no complaints.

The last two Bucks I have shot were with a New Rossi Trapper Lever Action 30.30 with 150 PSP. Both dropped where they stood.

It has become my Favorite to hunt with now. 16 1/2 Barrel, Wide Lever Loop, Extremely Accurate.

So I guess I have gone Full Circle and that ole 30.30 Rd is what I reach for first.

Sometimes your first is always the best!

I’ve had a boatload of different deer calibers over the years. Currently it’s 30/06, 30/30 and 45/70. In the past it was 5.56, 270, 7.62x39, 308, 7mm rem mag, 300 win mag and 357 mag. There was good and bad times on deer hunts but wouldn’t trade the memories and no regrets.

Some of the deer rifles have killed hogs too
As y’all can see, I’m non discriminatory and I don’t mind overlapping.

Don’t shoot rifles much. When we do, it’s only for does during the bonus season. My favorite is .223 55 gr soft nose and the Mrs likes a .243 80 gr soft nose.
