    What's your favorite caliber?

    First rifle I bought was a beat up looking used Remington 788 in 6mm. It shot little tiny groups with 100gr coreloks and I have killed literally hundreds of deer and hogs with it. I have have a handful of other rifles but that is by far my favorite.

    My Dad was a good shot and quick. If a bird or rabbit flushed in front of you he would get it before you had a chance. When I got a drivers license I could go on my own and I hunted less and less with Dad. By the time I graduated HS never.
