What's your favorite prb caliber for deer?

[cptleo1]

.54 for sure

One of my .62s if I am feeling frisky

 

[dodgecity]

.62 smooth rifle. A companion for all seasons.

 

[luieb45]

.44 cal rifle

 

[Birddog6]

Favorite for deer would be a .58 cal, but usually use a .54 for deer hunting.

 

[hanshi]

My .45 flint rifle. Could change when I get my .62 fowler.

 

[cgg]

.54 is my 1st choice.

 

[waterwolves]

.54 for me too!

I only shoot Blacktails which are a lot smaller but over the years I cannot say any one bore size has proven to be better than the others some will allow a longer shot at the deer, but I have used .40/.44/.45/.50/.54/.58/.62/.72 and all have done well if I do my part and hunt responsibly, I guess a gun is like a woman the one I like best is the one I'm with..........as for guns at this point it would be .58 or .62 a tossup with the .62 having a very slight edge in range due to a rear sight, but the .58 is hands down the best feeling, most comfortable gun I have ever owned.

Hands down it's the.58 for me! I like blood trails that you can follow blind folded on your hands and knees. BJH

Currently it is a .735 prb from my Brown Bess. I don't have to track that far too often ! :wink: Best regards,JA
