    6.5 mike,

    NO question: .22 Hornet or (more likely as I can "pick-up" .30-30 brass free at the range) .32-40WCF.
    (Also the old .32-40 has bagged MANY deer for over a century, with plain lead boolits.)

    yours, tex

    OlDuece,

    I'm not at all sure that .22 Hornet is as CHEAP to load as .32-40WCF is, IF you use .30-30 brass to make it.
    (I can get LOTS of .30-30 brass for FREE, that are "range pick ups".)

    One could also rechamber/build the low-wall to just "Plain Jane" .30-30, too

    yours, tex

    I have a contender barrel chambered in 300/221 rimmed. I have 2 extractors. One for rimleses and one rimmed. No special reamer needed. Click image for larger version.

    In a rifle Caliber I would really look at the 25-35 with a quicker twist.
    Pistol Caliber 44-40 would be vey sweet to me.
    There are lots more I would think over but I am those two are the ones that would be on the top of my list.
    Ken.

    Be nice if it was better, but it could be worse
