I started a thread awhile ago ( What is your favorite deer rifle) and the results were interesting, I'll try to post all the calibers starting with the most used caliber first for deer. This may not be exact because a few fellas posted 2 and more rifles which is understandable sometimes it's hard to pick a favorite.
Peoples favorite - .270, -17- times mentioned
30/06, -14 '' ''
25/06, -13 '' ''
7mag., -11 " "
.243, - 9 " "
6.5 CM, 300WM, 7/08, -8 " "
.308win. -7 " "
The following calibers were mentioned 5 times or less. 6.5x55 - 5, 260 Rem. - 4, 338 UM - 4, 264 WM - 4, 280 Rem. - 5, 30/30 - 3, 257 WBY. - 3, 35 Whelen - 3, 300 RUM., 45/70, 284 Win., 250/3000, 7mm STW, - mentioned twice, 375 Allen Mag., 44 mag., 338 Fed., 338/378, 338 Edge, 7mm RUM., 300 RUM., 270WSM., 6.5/284, 300 WSM.,6.5/06, T/C 50 cal. MZL. mentioned once.
Some of these calibers were AI. It doesn't surprise me to much that the 270 and the 30/06 are tops in the count.
