Best overall caliber for normal situations (shooting less than 150 yards) is the 30-30. Heavy enough bullet to not have to have the perfect shot, knock down efficiency, etc. This would be my recommendation to any new hunter not wanting/needing the extra distance.
Both calibers 123dsa and debaser are my calibers of choice: .270 Win and 7mm Rem Mag for hunting when longer shots are available. I do worry about the higher velocity to weight ratio of these when trying to cut through some brush.
