[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 2569266, member: 108965"] Through the years we have moved to heavier for caliber bullets, why? We got more penetration and faster kills. At the moment we only use two cartridges for hunting: - 7mm-08 with 168gr Berger Hybrids, 162gr AMax, 150gr Ballistic Tip, 150gr ELD-X and have some 150gr Hybrids to try. - 7mm Rem Mag with 168gr Hybrids, 162gr SST, and 180gr VLDH. The only light bullets we still use are the 139gr SST and the 120gr BT, and these are uaed on the 7mm-08's for deer, javelina and coyotes. I've seen first hand how a heavier bullet can kill better, woth proper shot placement of course. [/QUOTE]
