[QUOTE="J Doss, post: 1642963, member: 109284"] It kind of depends on where one is hunting at. Central Texas 100 pounders or Kansas and Montana 300lb bruisers. Overall, my preferred round is a 150gr Accubond for 7mm Rem Mag with 2000fps terminal velocity. My backup is 150gr Accubond in 30-06 with TV about 1900fps. For smaller Central Texas deer, I hunt with a 130gr Accubond in a 270 with TV at 1800fps. I know, old school calibers. They have worked for years and with the continued developments in bullet design and more consistent powders, they are still there in the top of the list. I hunt for meat. Higher TVs mean more damaged meat, so I stay away from the super fast rounds. I have a load for a 120gr 7mm RM that is wicked fast but will nearly blow the backside out of my local 100lb whitetails. There just isn't a lot of meat there to start with so blowing 20% of it away is not a realistic option for me. [/QUOTE]
