In your opinion what 3-5 rifle calibers are best for Mule Deer?

[PrimalAuthority]

My question is what 3-5 rifle calibers are best past 300 yards?

 

[PrimalAuthority]

For me it's 6.5 PRC, 7PRC, 300PRC, 300 win mag, and the 6.8 Western.

I have varying opinions on cartridges for them though.

.308 for long distance shots. 30-30 for stalking close for a shot within reasonable distance. TR
