What deer hunting calibers are best?

Answer 1

There is only one .270 caliber for hunting rifles, but are you referring to the three different variations? The following are some variation but they are all used for deer hunting. They are the 270 Weatherby Magnum, 270 Win. Short Magnum, and the .270 Win. The .270 Win is the most popular and more than enough for Deer, especially Whitetail. Choosing a hunting rifle and caliber for deer, depends on several factors. What type of area are you hunting? will the shots be long, shorter, dense woods or ?? As far as an effective caliber, the .270 is fine for most all deer hunting. Bullet type and weight are also important.

Answer 2

The best answer I can give you is the one that's legal in your area that you shoot the best.

If a caliber is deemed legal in your area, then placing a shot in the vitals is going to kill deer for sure, with a properly constructed bullet. The important part is getting the bullet where it needs to be.

I don't know your skill level or preferences, but if you are a novice or beginning hunter or shooter, I would start with a low recoiling cartridge like the .257 Roberts or 30-30 Winchester, etc.

i would also suggest a 30-06, 7.62x39, or .308, these are all good calibers.

i would suggest a BAR, (Browning Automatic Rifle) or an ak-47, 7.62x39, or any .308 rifle

or you could use a 12 or 20 gauge shotgun, i would use 12.

good 12 gauges are:

Just adding on to this answer. It is a good answer, however an AK-47, in my opinion is not a good hunting gun. My recommendation for a novice hunter would be a .243 or a .270 or even a 30/30. For a more advanced hunter i would recommend a 30-06 or .308 or a .300 Weatherby. These are all good deer hunting calibers and will; do the job nicely with good shot placement.

150 to 180 grain bullet (a grain is a measurement of weight not a type of bullet)
