[QUOTE="basinman, post: 1891814, member: 75978"] I grew up hunting deer in the woods and swamps of south Louisiana and I hunted with a Marlin 336C in 30-30. I got my grandfather to take me to JC Penny to buy that rifle when I was 14 years old. I still remember that it was on sale for $89.95. I killed many a deer with it and I still have that rifle. As I got a little older and was starting to hunt other places that required longer shots I wanted a bolt action rifle that I could hunt everything from deer to elk with. I chose a Winchester Model 70 in 300 WSM. I used 150 grain bullets for deer and antelope size game and 165 or 180 grain for the larger critters. This rifle worked great for all the hunting I was doing and the recoil was not bad at all. Now I own more rifles than I can count and select them based on the game I am going after. But most all of the cartridges mentioned in this forum would be great all around deer and elk takers. The main thing is to work up some accurate loads that you have confidence in and practice, practice, practice. [/QUOTE]
