[QUOTE="jebel, post: 1587771, member: 106189"] All of the cartridges you list would be great on elk or moose out to 500 yards. Which means they'd all be great on deer (if not a bit much). So my first suggestion would be the 7mmRM, as it's the lightest shooting of those you mentioned (none of them are soft shooting). You can always get more, but that's not an efficacy question, it's a personal preference. My second suggestion is to buy a lighter weight deer rifle in a softer shooting cartridge. It sounds like that's what you'll be using it for most. Then, when that elk or moose hunt comes up, get a rifle for the task in any of the cartridges you list. [/QUOTE]
