The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - what is your favorite hunting rifle caliber

I hunt only deer so my votes go to the .308 and - for those who want to reach out a bit farther - 30-06. Many manufacturers make ammo in these calibers with bullets in all shapes and sizes which you can find anywhere for a reasonable price. Do I like 7MM-08 over .308 - probably. But then I remember that 7MM-08 goes for $29/box (if you can find it) and .308 goes for $19/box and you can always find it.
