What’s your favorite caliber for deer?

order of preference longest distance for deer:
1. 280AI
2. 308
3. Shotgun

I may try out a 270 win this year for a NY deer hunt and I want to try a 6.5cm next year. I would level to get a 30-30 lever action for short range deer hunting just seems like a cool gun.
 
Big fan of the 280,but love my 308. That being said my biggest buck was shot with a 6 mm. Wife's biggest shot with a 260 before the 6.5 CM was in existence. Hard to choose just one. 41 mag is favorite sidearm followed by 45 LC and 44 a distant 3rd.
