Hello to all my deer rifle enthusiasts…

[sambo77]

Savage 110 for the win. Or you can't beat a Browning A bolt or x bolt.

 

[Deej]

7600 for the win!

Interesting. Did not know that.

You are getting a ton of misinformation in this thread. The truth is bigger is not better, faster is not better, smaller is not better and slower is not better. Terminal performance on game is a formula of velocity, SD, weight and construction specifically matched to the weight, thickness and hardiness of the game you are seeking at the specific impact velocities you plan on taking said game.

cool story bro…
Can we get back to discussing 308 raffles?

I was answering your question you said you didn’t know what the other gentleman was talking about.

Because it's not true.

You contradicted yourself by generalizing that the 25-06 and .270 win were superior cartridges (not calibers) to the .308 and 6.5C. With the correct bullets and shot placement, any of the four will work well, and not be the reason you didn't drt a deer.

"Emotion and personal preference are really what it comes down to.
If your daddy or granddaddy was an .270 man, then that’s probably the cartridge for you. If they liked the 270, then you’ll probably like it better as well. Emotion does not help a cartridge shoot or kill any better, but when two cartridges are close in performance, emotion might matter most. Pick the one you like, proclaim it the best, and ignore everyone else. There’s a 50% chance you’ll be right.

I’ve always liked the 308 Winchester. In fact, practically speaking, if the job at hand is too much for the 308 Winchester, you’re going to need a hell of a lot more then a .270 or an 06"

I am a Huge fan of .308 however…

I don't think there's anything wrong with 270 or 308 or pretty much anything else mentioned here, especially in Georgia. If we use a good bullet and decent shot placement, it's very likely going to result in a recovered deer. But we're always looking for better and "best" cartridges, even though we probably never needed anything beyond the 7x57 (1892). That's just my opinion based on my experience, which is admittedly limited in comparison with many on here. Maybe I'm wrong.

You're looking at a measly 200fps from the same bullet in .308 to .30-06. I tend to agree with the previous gentleman, if the .308 won't get it done, .270 and .30-06 won't either. They're simply too close ballistically for it to matter THAT much in the field.
