for a deer rifle, which would it be and why?

.243
.25/06
7mm-08

These are the only three choices. If you post something about another caliber, something bad will happen.

.7mm-08

no brainer. More nock down power IMO than the other two calibers and better long range than the other two.

Of course this is assuming we are talking deer rifles.

This is a big consideration! Not for Zombies per se, but affordable ammo.

I really like the idea of the 25-06 though.

I have a 30-06, .270 and a .308. I've actually never shot any of those calipers but I like all three that I have

So yeah, that helps.

Would strongly advise you to stick to NATO calibers.
