If you had to sift through all of the calibers that are out there today, which one do you look at and say, "I just don't know why this one isn't more popular with deer hunters!" Then maybe, which gun of your own should you use more, but just don't.
If I had to pick a single one, I would pick the .358 Winchester. I don't think it is overkill, doesn't have an annoying belt, it can be made in lever action or bolt action (it was once even offered in an AR type rifle), it isn't as bad for trajectory at the 200-300 yard range as everyone thinks.
My other (for me) is I underrate my .270 Winchester Model 700. I have made some great shots with it, but it usually is never picked first for deer or antelope, always the bridesmaid to the .30-06 or 7mm Mag., even though it has always held up its end.
