I haven't drawn a deer tag in so long (2014), I forgot what my favorite deer rifle is!
But my daughter's is her 6.5SLR.

A friend was fond of his number one ruger in 405 Winchester on deer. I don't recall what bullets he was using but he always said the fold up like a cheap lawn chair when he hit them.If you want to see a deer frog stomped by a firearm hit it with a .405 Win using a 250 Shock hammer at 23 hundred feet per second. It's impressive!
Only one bullet available unless you use hammer. Hornadys 300 grain pointed soft point. I've got some of them loaded to 2340. It really hurts to touch one off. The 250 Hammer at 2200 runs out of fun at about five shots. I'm told they can be pushed to 2600, if I was hunting elk or bears I'd try it. Only have to shoot it once. You can use a 210 grair 41 mag XTP but I'm told accuracy is exceptable, but not great. It's a true.410 dia. Instead of 411. 412 cast bullets can't be pushed very fast without a gas check, which you can't find.A friend was fond of his number one ruger in 405 Winchester on deer.

Nice rifle.Like a lot of guys, I like to use different rifles. I think that I killed deer with 3 different ones this year. My favorite though is probably my Custom Classic 30-06.
