there is NEVER a “panic run” on 30-06 ammo because guys who own 30-06’s don’t panic!
I've killed a lot of deer with my .308 and I haven't ONCE bought a box of factory ammo for it.

You think a .30-30 or .35 rem will kill deer!? You're joking! Not with all the new fangled armored guerilla warfare they present nowadays!Well since I started this debate ill give my pick. I have 7mm08 3030 270 243 308 3006 6.5cm 7mag 35rem
375rem 300wwsm. But out of all these if I could only keep one I would keep my 30/06. Just because its hard to beat for many situation. Everyone has their opinion and that's all I was asking. Every gun I mentioned will kill deer.3006 is my pick. Thanks for everyone's opinion.
I used to hear it for hours at deer camp..You know, I remember getting into "best deer caliber" arguements in high school. I'm 67 years old. That's been a while.
Not the odd man by any means! Plenty of food in freezers around here thanks to the good ol .243!Boy I'll tell you what, I guess I'm the odd man out.
I would use either .243 win or .257 Roberts. I never thought deer needed any more than that and I can ground hog hunt, varmint hunt and anything else I needed to do with either of them.
I have also used 30-30, 32 special, 308 win, 30-06 and 8mm for deer hunting and with the 308, 30-06, and 8mm always felt a little over gunned.
I never had any trouble putting anything down with a .243, if I had to pick only one it would be a .243.
