smallest caliber to kill deer

[JW]

Let me be the first. What a worthless caliber. Too big for the small stuff and too little for the big stuff.

Ur drunk go home.

Very good choice.

For me its a 6mm.

Beyond me why the 6mm Remmy is not offered in dang near every bolt action made. Yes it's the same .244 bullet but it is another animal as compared to a 243 Win.

I just got my Remington 30-06 from the gunsmith so I'm pretty sure it will become my go to hunting rifle!

Have you ran some rounds through it? I know fellas that whine about pulling the trigger on that gun

Never understood that. I run 180's in mine.

I have killed several with a .223. No problem at all.

[JW]

As far as .224 the .220 Swift is my all time fave.

Yep I have it sighted in! What do they whine about?!?

[CRT]

And it's not my first 30-06! It's what I've always used!

Possibly the dumbest thing I have ever read on TBH and I know a guy who claims to have proof of Bigfoot

180's for me too. Been shooting that round since my mid teens and that gun has sentimental value.

I am sure the whiney guys were simply not shouldering well but TT will definitely be hunting like a man with that gun

Bottom line......
It ain't,what you shoot.
It's,where you shoot.

Hey!! I'm not quite sure how to take that?!? Lol!!

Bullet construction is more critical than caliber. IMO what you want is a bullet that will expand to the largest diameter(so it creates the most massive wound channel) and retain 100 % of its weight. NO FMJs

More importantly than caliber, I would say that at any given range you would want a bullet to deliver no less than 800 ft lbs of energy AT A MINIMUM.(I'm no expert but that's the least amount in any caliber I would be comfortable with.)and the amount of energy a bullet retains is dependent upon the caliber itself, type and weight of the bullet being fired, propellant that drives the bullet and the length of barrel the bullet is shot from.

There are those that will tell you that with a .22 caliber bullet that shot placement is key. This is only arguing semantics as shot placement is key with any caliber.

All I know is, under 150yds with an ar15 with 16" barrel I will shoot spikes and does and the like. More than 150yds and forget it. If I'm trophy buck hunting (at any "reasonable" range") I'm going to be shooting a .30-06 with a 180gr nosler partition bullet.

Disagree . When I was younger I was a guide on an Exotic Ranch. There was a reason we had minimum ,243 rule ,
