My favorite, (and only) is the 7MM Rem Mag as well.

I have always used Rems 175 PSPCL bullets. Shot many a nice buck with my Rem 700 Bolt! Had it for 31 years!
Bought it in 1979 for $400 bare rifle. There weren't many 7mm Mags around here then. Many people think that a big rifle ruins a lot of meat on a deer, But if you hit them where you should, in the ribs(double Lung shot)it just punches a hole straight through. And there ain't much meat on the ribs!
I once shot a 190 LB (dressed) buck standing straight on though at 150 yds(no other choice). Hit him just above the brisket, and the meat cutter found the bullet in one of the hams. Needless to say, that buck went down right quick!

And like I have always said....with the 7mm Mag...they don't get back up!

My favorite, (and only) is the 7MM Rem Mag as well. That makes 2 votes...and the poll only says one?

I'm not a moderator/webmaster here so I can only guess that either you or Hoytman forgot to actually "vote" and only replied here.

 

[archerynutNB]

edit after correction to poll

 

[takin'time]

I had to vote for 308 its what I have.
But if a new rifle is in the future I see....30-06.
All around great bullet.IMO

 

[archerynutNB]

It wasn't me! lol... Done.

Hey Hoytman!...ya wanna arm wrestle for it?......or we could just take on a moderator? Ha ! Ha!

......just delete your post dude like I did and then were "both" off the hook!

...................dang computers!

progress my AZZ!!

OK, a pattern is starting to form.

Seems like most folks prefer Magnum or near magnum cartridges for White Tail.
Wonder if that is because many use the same rifle for moose/bear?

 

[mu'in]

7mm wsm (BANG - FLOP)
145gr Speer Hotcore

I would think so Woolly (i use same gun (7mm) with different loadings for moose (160gr Nosler Accubond)

 

[KPR]

My choice is Rem. CoreLokt SP...
I use these in both my Husqvarna .270 and Marlin .30.30 and they work well enough for me.
Can't wait to run some through my "new to me" Husqvarna 30-06
IF... my gunsmith can find a new stock for it in time for this years seasons.
Hopefully moose season in Cape Breton

 

[Birddog]

30-06 all the way.....you're right wooly it's also my moose gun!

 

[good old boy]

.300 win all the way. plenty of stopping power.
