Best Deer Hunting Cartridge

[olerambler]

Well it's a pistol cartridge. But worth a mention. For that matter, 45 Colt. No joke, took a deer at 135yds. One shot, complete pass through. Never took another step, just fell over

Used see good many folks using 44 mag rifles especially the Ruger

killed most deer with a 270. shoot a 308 opening weekend and then hunt with my 350 Legend. Caliber I hate the most is a 7m08.

Interesting Why the 7-08 hate

I haven’t seen 44 mag mentioned on here yet so I will. I have a Ruger 44 mag carbine that works great in most places I hunt up to 100 yds I have had great success with it.

Got the same gun, Used it a lot in Louisiana marshes for deer and hogs. Never had a problem dropping them in there tracks. Going to bring it this Dec for pigs on my sons lease.

When I purchased mine never happy with the store bought stuff,started loading 140 gr accubonds and no more complaints.i shot magnum calibers up until and was tired of recoil. but wanted something I was confident in and it’s been my go to for last 5 years.

Barrett 50 cal. I like to shoot mine and just go up and start to eat. It's kills, cleans and cooks them in one shot. Even sits on a silver platter for ya!
