Whats the best deer cartridge?

.270, despite the fact I’ve never even used a .270 to hunt deer. I’ve used a 20 gauge, 30-30, 7-08, 7RM...and I’d have to say the .270 is the best overall pure deer cartridge.
 
Actually my buddy in Havre uses a Marlin 45-70. I scoffed at him having too much gun ... till I helped him skin a muley buck. Almost no bloodshot on either side. That big slug did a very neat and tidy job of putting down a deer while not making a mess of it.
It's a great brush gun too. Northern Minnesota demands it!
