[QUOTE="jwcrabb, post: 750009, member: 10128"] Hey Guys, Thanks for all the suggestions. I should add that these Deer are not the little Coues. These are South Texas brush Whitetails. The last one we field dressed went 180#. The big issue in South Texas is the thick brush. If you hit one and he gets out of the sendero, he can be very hard to track. Most of the brush you can't walk through. I have hunted and taken over 100 deer with my 25-06. What I am interested in is a caliber that can match its flat shooting, with a heavier bullet in the 120-130 range. The old 7mm mag is just about ideal, just need that performance in a short action. A 130-140g at 3300fps is my target. Thanks [/QUOTE]
