what is in your mind the best all time whitetaildeer cartragde?

.30-06!!!

My state doesn't allow bottle-neck cartridges,so I use (and love) a 44 Mag Marlin 1894. My favorite would have to be 35 Remington.

30-30

I'd go 308, it can be chambered in a short action rifle it is powerful enough and in most guns very accurate and it doesn't kick very hard, everything you need.

I use a .270 and a 30.06. I have been happy with both of these. As we know though, it all comes down to shot placement.

[rrmont]

I like the 7mm mag.

I would say the best all time is a 30-30.

If I lived in a rifle state, I'd use a .25-06 or .270.

30-30 is a good load as well as the 308

[kolbster]

either 30-06 or 308

[BBD19]

Personally I would go with the 7mm. It provides great range without the overkill. A very versatile ammo with good nockdown power.

[hickboy518]

i like the 30-30 rem

[platte river rat]

25-05 or 260Rem with Barnes bullets. 100 gr TSXBT for the 25-06 and 130 gr TSXFB for the 260Rem. Both will put down any whitetail around.

My personal favorite, 45-70 Gov't with a 500 Grain Copper Checked Lead Slug.
It's a toss up between the 30-30 Winchester and the 30-06 Springfield.

.30-06 no doubt. Might be overkill for whitetails, but very versataile, easy to find ammo, knocks em over

[lovetohunt]

.270 I hunt with a shotgun but thats probably what i would get.
