What's your favorite caliber?
I like the .270 Winchester. Has done everything I've asked it to, and the recoil is very manageable.

I have hunted with a bunch of different Caliber's 30-30, 30-06, shotgun slug's/buckshot, 243, 270 and now I am using my TC with a 280 Heavy barrel. I have taken deer out to over 400 yard's with the 270, but that is a a target that is standing still, most shot's though are 200 yard's or less.
I try to shoot at least a couple of time's a week, and if I'm at camp it sound's like a war going on, I take 3 or 4 different gun's when I'm on my 5 day's off and MommaLH and I shoot at least 4 out the 5 day's.

I like several calibers,If I had to choose one for Whitetails the 270 Win would be my choice.I've laid many a deer low using my .270 Win.

I have many rifle/caliber combo's, mainly Remington's, Winchester's, and Ruger's, MY favorite "Hunting" Cartridge for years has been the old 257 Roberts, But I have a new "Experimental Run" Remington 270WSM BDL, SPM, and this is one AWESOME cartridge, it outperforms most of the traditional Magnum's in most areas, and the Vernerable 270 by a pretty noticible amount, in all area's! The recoil is less than a 30-06, and has the velocity, and energy at 300 yards that my M-77 257 Roberts has at the muzzle, so it is now my favorite caliber, and before I get accused by the naysayer's (that hate change, and this cartridge) that this round is the end-all, and the replacement for traditional cartidges, and magnums! IT IS NOT! You shoot what you like, this is an awesome, fairly new cartridge, and it "almost" rivals the accuracy of my two Remington 40X Benchrest Rifle's, it is a gun that should be looked at with some seriousness! If you are looking for some extra horsepower for your old Deer rifle then check it out!
Roll Tide!
