Quite honestly, I don't think it would matter much (within reason) what relatively modern caliber I hunted Texas deer with. I could make do with a 223, or my old 35 Rem, or a 250 Savage. Lately I've downgraded from my 270 to a 260. I might not want to go with a 25-20, but I'd get by. A good hunter doesn't need much.

We used to ride around in T Models also, get water out of the well with a bucket, wipe with corn cobs .... Which, of course, you can still do if you like.

I'll try to keep up. But, I think I would use the corn cob before I tried to kill a grizzly with a patch and ball. But seriously, I know what you are saying. If somebody wants a suggestion on a deer rifle I tell them it is hard to beat a 270 Win. If they add elk to it I suggest a 30-06 for a heavier bullet. I have seen nothing over the years to make that a bad idea. Now, if the '06 recoil is not a problem foe them and they want to shoot something bigger I am just not going to put them down over it. |
