let's make this one short and sweet, it's the one that you already have.

As you can tell this has been discussed a million times. The consensus of HT is it doesn't matter as long as it's right in the "FUGGIN HEAD"!

clearly I am correct. . 30 Nosler
These other guys will tell you 300 this or that or 30 , 27 or 26 something or 6 something. Heck they may even say 33 or 25 something. Those are all just opinions.

But seriously, I see you posted elsewhere you have a 30-06. That will work for any big game in north America, so I'd say you already have yourself a good all around rifle.

And since you have you're all around caliber (30-06) already, and you plan to hunt coues deer, if you really want another gun maybe consider something smaller. .243 is a classic deer gun. 6.5cm is another recently popular round, so ammo is usually available. Get something common enough so that ammo acquisition won't be a nightmare for you.

Thanks for the correction BradThe 30 RUM, 30-06, 7mm RM, et al, are not calibers, they're cartridges - .257 is a caliber, but a 257 Wby is a cartridge.

I am from the future and I have traveled back in time to tell you that Caliber does not matter.
In the future all rifle cases will be based on the 6.5 Creedmoor and be able to shoot the following big bullets at 4,000 fps due to advances in nuclear fission gun powder.
They will also drop the unnecessary numbers off of the end of the caliber. For example .308 just becomes .30.
The following is the size of bullets that will be available and due to using depleted uranium rather than lead there are zero magazine issues with bullets of these sizes.
200 grain bullet at .22 caliber
250 grain bullet .23 caliber
300 grain bullet .24 caliber
350 grain bullet .25 caliber
400 grain bullet .26 caliber
450 grain bullet .27 caliber
500 grain bullet .28 caliber
550 grain bullet .29 caliber
600 grain bullet .30 caliber
650 grain bullet .31 caliber
700 grain bullet .32 caliber
750 grain bullet .33 caliber
800 grain bullet .34 caliber
850 grain bullet .35 caliber
900 grain bullet .36 caliber
950 grain bullet .37 caliber
1000 grain bullet .38 caliber
This period of time in history will be called the man bun revolution due to the prevalence of the 6.5 Creedmoor parent case and men of course growing man buns.
