My BIL out in Montana hunts Elk with his Remington 700 BDL, 7mm Mag, and he's dropped quite a few with it. It's real popular out west. But then so is the 300 mag, and the 338 mag, and the 8mm mag, and so on. But around here, the best caliber for deer is a .243, or the ever popular, and arguably the best all around caliber ever made, the 30.06. I had a Browning lever action .243 but sold it.
