To me, its a lot more about ballistics and bullet size than caliber. I've killed deer with everything from a .222 to a .50 cal. Look at the terrain where you are hunting and range you will typically shoot.
The group I hunt with has strict rules, head or neck shots only (or you buy breakfast all week), whoever kills a deer has to buy steak dinner for the whole group that night, etc.
Personally, I like a 110 grain hollow point out of a .270 or .30/06 loaded with 57 or 58 respectiely grains of H4831. Its a low case pressure, fast load. With the hollow point it will deliver a lot of hydraulic shock, fast take down, and very accurate. Its effective at ranges from 10 feet to 400 yards but worthless in heavy cover. Where we hunt its either a close clear shot or a long clear shot with dense cover adjacent to the area. I want to find the deer where I shot it.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
