If I'm hunting deer in the open prairie I'll use my 7mm and if I'm in the bush I'll use my marlin 30-30. I love my 7mm but I'm sure I've never used it in a situation that a 25-06 or a 270 wouldn't have done the job. Ballistically the 7mm is better that the other calibers I've mentioned but the 25-06 or the 270 will take deer out to 250yds fine. So will dozens of other cartridges. It's personal preference!

Good luck you can't hardly go wrong with anything from the 243 to the 30-06 and anything in between. They will all take at least deer size game with proper bullet placement.
let us know what you decide.
