What important things must-have for deer hunting
HOW DARE YOU NOT MENTION THE GREAT 6.5 Creedmore!!! Now someone is really gonna lay into you about how that is the greatest round of all time.../s.243, .270 308, 30-06. 30-30, 35...... I am just going to post one reply until I know that OP not just throwing grenade and watching us scrambles around.
But nothing wrong with a good 12 gauges. IMHO, ammo quality does not really affect you or you can see much difference within 100 yards. I dont need pin size hole from my hunting rifle.

NOT HORNADY WHITETAIL SPECIAL.
At least in 129 grain, for the 6.5 Creedmoor. I was completely let down by that round's performance.
I'm getting pretty close to being done with this ammo as well, although I have a bunch of it.
First 2 deer I shot with the 6.5CM had non-existent blood trails. Lost one of them because of it.
I've shot a bunch with my .25-06 and have been sort of happy with the performance but not really. Exits are pretty limited, and I've noticed some funkiness in the QA of ammo. For example, I have a number of rounds with split necks now.
Obviously you haven’t tried SST pushed to the max lol...my dad has shot two deer with the 300 wby and it barely makes it into the vitalsI shoot Weatherbys... Regardless of bullet design there's ALWAYS an exit hole lol
.25-06 is a nice round but I agree with you, I would only trust reload for actual hunting. 250-3000 are easy on the shoulder too if you want to have fun with a unique caliber. But I think .270 is the most friendly and meet my needs if I go back to hunting with guns for anything in NA. 30-06 just have a lot of gain weight available and ammo type, but I like the feel of .270 more.
