Rifle deer season is quickly approaching in many states. There has been an abundance of new super calibers in the last few years and some of them do have their place in the right applications. I too have been enamored with some of the new stuff but is there really anything the old standard calibers can't take care of in 90% or more of hunting situations? Maybe one of the big 300 calibers for Elk would be a good choice? Personally I think a 7mm-08 is ideal for deer. Tell me what you think.

  Military trained on the 7.62x51 (308). To ranges out 600+ yards.

  But only hunt in wooded hilly rural KY at 150-250 at most. I'm comfortable and it's what I reload for too.

  I stick with a straight 4 X Weaver with German pot Reticle. Scope is quick and easy to track.

  While I was Colorado I used a 7mm Mag, but my bad shoulder won't take the larger calibers any more.
