bob.243 8,831 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 .223 or .243 if you have a chance at shooting larger deer. Quote Link to post

The one 8,482 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Aye if thats all you want to shoot a 243 , if you want to shoot larger deer a 270 Quote Link to post
Caprelous 217 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Ideal varmint round 22-250 exceptionally flat shooting also ideal for small species of deer inc Roe deer North of the border. but not South of the border but still legal on Muntjac and CWD 270 cal will tick all the boxes no matter where you go inc African game and wild boar. All with the matching bullets per quarry of coarse and all can be hand loaded accordingly. Edited January 15, 2013 by Caprelous Quote Link to post
bart308 11 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 .308 ticks all the boxes and meat damage may not be as much i my experience as it is with smaller faster calibers (i.e 22- 250). I have .222 and 308 but if only had 1 it would be the 308. All the suggestions will work just a case of find one you like Quote Link to post
