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

[jbseamus83]

I'll be honest - I thought the same thing with the caliber/cartridge thing when I first read the question. I just wasn't going to be 'that guy' about it. Here are what I would vote:

.25-06
.257 wby
.270 win
6.8 western
7mm-08

I only own one of these cartridges (7mm-08). I 'need' to own all of them, but the ones I want the most are the .25-06 and the .270. I have a thing for the older cartridges even though I really appreciate the newer ones and own a 7prc (which almost made the list). I've always wanted a .25-06 and the .270 is too classic and perfect in a lot of ways to not have.

.308
.284
.277
.264
.257

I don’t know why everyone else is listing cartridges when you asked for calibers

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

How do you all feel about the 7mm?

I guess I’ll join rokslide instead, maybe they’re not a bunch of cucks over there

270, 30'06, 308, 7mm-08, 7mm Rem Mag

If past 300 yards means 300-400 I would say something similar to a 257 wby. If it’s 300-600 7stw-like cartridges. 300-1000 probably 338 lapua. Beyond that maybe one of those one way attack drones. I’ve shot a few at 400-475 and 25-06, 270, and 300 wsm were all very effective but the ones at 80-150 yards were a lot funner.

45-70. anything closer than 300, its a 100 grain broadhead. i'm the man your wife's boyfriend wishes he was.
