My favorite deer caliber is the .25-06 Remington. Other good deer calibers are: .270 Winchester, .308 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield. The minimum deer caliber is the .243 Winchester and up to say about a 7mm Remington Magnum without getting into ‘over-kill.’ For bigger game say in North America you don’t want anything smaller than the .308. If you’re going to hunt on the Continent (Africa) than the .375 Holland and Hollang Magnum is considered the minimum for dangerous game.
