I'll take a 7x08, necked down .308. It's not that popular but it gets the job done.

My own personal rifle is a .308 for deer, but I really like the 7mm-08 its a great round.

I've hunted with almost everything on that list. :D

I really like the .270, flat, fast and accurate.

.308 always gonna have a special place in my heart as well.

Ive got all of the above minus the .270, but my brother has one of those. I use the 30.06 in wooded areas and the 7mm Weatherby Mag in fields. The 30-30 and .308 collect dust. If you look at the specs, the .308 is actually a terrible round.

I personally use a 30-06 for centerfire hunting, but I really want to get a deer with the flintlock.

Scholars have long known that fishing eventually turns men into philosophers.  Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy decent tackle on a philosopher's salary.

A well placed .243 will get the job done plus if u look at the ballistics of the .243 over the other choices here it blows them all out of the water in drop and wind drift it just looses its energy at farther distances but its more accurate even at 1000m so its easier to put in the boiler at distance its a small round but very effective round.

I said .308 because it's my favorite 30cal round. But really any 30cal round is great for deer and most other big game.

270 WSM is by far the best calibre. Balistically speaking it is faster and hits harder.
Pb LMB - 4.6lbs
Pb SMB - 4.1lbs
