[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 1626719, member: 109917"] In a bolt gun this is my sentiment, in and AR platform it's going to be a 308 with the exception I like fat heavy bullets. 180gr soft points in 30'06 have killed alot of the deer I have ever shot at, the rest being with a 300 Weatherby. The .308 diameter bullet is hard to beat, but as several have said, bullets and ammo have come a long long way from in just the past decade. I don't think you can go wrong with anything above a 260 on deer. If someone with little experience is going to be using it or is possibly going to be recoil sensitive, a 270 would be my recommendation. Never paid attention when visiting Maryland, how big do the deer get there weight wise? Pigs shot in the triangle below the ear aren't going far and most will drop right there. [/QUOTE]
