Last year I killed my first deer with a 6.5 caliber. I used the 140 Accubond out of a 6.5x55 with very good results, even though that's way more bullet than a deer needs. It did the job and the deer only went about 10 yards.
The 10 deer before that we're all with 140 Ballistic Tips out of a 7-08. The last 8 with that combo died in their tracks. I sure love that combo.
I gave my dad a Remington Model 7 in 7-08 to use in Texas, with about 40 rounds of the 140 BT's. He told me recently how wonderfully well that combos been working for him as well. It's certainly got some mojo. I'd actually gave him that rifle so I had something to hunt with when I visited, but he's now told me I need to bring my own rifle next time I come...lol!
