What calibers have you taken deer with?

[Coltdriver]

Just took one yesterday with a modern Steyr in 6.5X54 MS.

Running a 140 grain partition at 2500 fps. Bang flop from 100 yards. Easy shot but was also able to take my time and having just shot about 50 rounds the week before into a 100 yard target I knew exactly where I was going to hit.

30/06, .270, 30/30, 7mm08,.308, 6.5x55, .44 mag, 12 ga, 20 ga. Current deer gun is a Benelli M2 in 20ga and a Tikka 7mm/08 for late season hunts where high powered rifles are allowed in southern Iowa.
