[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2791227, member: 10755"] Interesting results. My favourite cartridge for most everything is the 300WM, but I choose different cartridges for different deer and locations. My choices are 25-06 for Hog deer and Fallow deer or my 264WM, For Red deer here in Australia I choose my 270 Bee, in New Zealand there is no calibre restrictions and I have used both my 25-06 and 257 Weatherby, but also used 270 Bee, 300 Bee, 300WM, 7STW and 264WM. In Australia on our largest deer that isn’t penned, we have Sambar that are 600+ lbs and calibre restricted to 270 minimum. I have used 270 Bee, 300WM, 300 Bee, 340 Bee, 338WM, 338-416 Rigby Improved, 375 Bee and 416 Rigby. Dabbled with big bores for fun a few times and shot a stag with my 500 Nitro just because…it was funny, it ran for a good distance with front right shoulder smashed and a broken hip…amazing! I always say my favourite rifle is the last one I built, so my REM 700 switch barrel in 264WM and 7STW is currently my favourite Cheers. [/QUOTE]
