Being as I have elk and bear as well as deer tags, the old butt ugly rem 700 adl in 7mm rem mag is the one that always seems to go when its time to fill the freezer, kills them all with 150 gr spitzers nicely.
Living In Ohio,and since you said rifle,not bow or shotgun:Mine happens to be a .50 ML.(.45cal 250 gr at 18-1900,not impressive..but it's adequate)
Hunting in "rifle" states,my 7 mag is what I use.
I have a model 91 7.65 mauser bubba job that I have a strange need to drop Bambi with this year. Next up my 7.7 Arisaka or my #4 enfield in 45/70. Then maybe my 280 remington.
I have shot many deer with many rifle cartridges, ranging from the .30 US carbine up to the .375 H&H. However, the most deer have been shot with the 06 (somewhere around 20). Why? For me, this cartridge offers a choice of bullets suitable for open range hunting (150-165 grain bullets) to those required for hunting overgrown thickets (220 grain). Additionally, with all these bullets the 06 delivers adequate performance without severe recoil.
for the farm it's a Vanguard in 270 with Leupold 3x9x50 & 130 gr Hornady sst. for the thick stuff or still hunting a custom mini-30 with Cor-Bon 150 gr. they both work very well in the given situation.
Tree Stand/Woods: .535 Gr patched lead roundball and 90 Gr fffg in a Hawken replica for up close and personal hunting. Still more effective than it has a right to be.
Beanfield > 100 yards: .270 Win and Nosler partitions over IMR 4831. It just shoots flatter than an '06 or .308 Win.
.243 Winchester with 100 grain Speer Grand Slam bullets will swive any deer of any size, without excessive meat destruction. What you practice with will become your best deer rifle. A .223 Remington, if legal for deer in your state, with a 60 grain Nosler Partition bullet will swive any deer living or sick. p.s. "swive" is an an archaic term unlikely to be found in any modern dictionary. If you watch the latest "BEOWULF" video, you'll grasp it's meaning. Otherwise, consider these bullets EXTREMELY adequate for deer-hunting. cliffy
I use a Remington Model 700 LSS in .260 Remington with a Nikon silver ProStaff 3-9X-40 scope. The cartridge of choice is the following hand load:
Case: R-P
Primer: WLR
Powder: 43.0 grains of IMR 4831
Bullet: 6.5 MM 140 grain Nosler Partitian
This load will consistantly group between 5/16" to 3/4" at 100 yards from a Lead Sled in this rifle. I can get about 2" groupings over sticks from field positions. I wobble a lot.
My backup is a Remington Model Seven with Nikon 3-9X - 40 scope (Talley quick connect rings) in .260 Remington, sighted in with Federal 140 grain factory loads.
