[QUOTE="mcseal2, post: 525886, member: 22030"] I've used many also, most of the bucks on my wall fell to a 300 win, one to a 7mm Rem mag. Nowdays, I don't have a favorite round as much as I have a favorite recipe. I want a 140gr accubond or berger moving at least 3000fps. I have different ways of obtaining this. I use a lightweight 270WSM with a 4.5x14CDS for mountain hunting, a 7mm Rem Mag with a 3x9x50 Meopta for low light stand hunting, and a 264 win mag with the bergers and a 6.5x20CDS for open country. The 140gr bullet at 3000-3200fps seems to be about my comfortable limit for recoil when practicing alot. I'm also a huge fan of the 140gr accubond for deer. I've never recovered one from a deer and never had one run over 100yds. This has held true on big bodied midwestern bucks at tough angles and ranges out to 500yds. I haven't shot as many with the bergers, or at as tough of angles, but they have all dropped in their tracks. Also the bergers leave a tiny entrance and no exit most times so they don't contaminate a stand site with blood. [/QUOTE]
