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.)

My first choice is a .22Hornet my second choice tehehe .22Hornet way cheap to shoot

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

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.

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