I used to really like the 145 grain Speer Grand Slam in 7/08 and .280 for deer, goat, and elk. I read somewhere that Speer changed the design a few years ago. Some say its an improvement, others say its not as good now. I dont know.
I took a couple of elk running the old-style 145gr Grand Slam out of a .284 Win with 20" barrel (Browning BLR). It did a bang up job, that's for sure, as neither bull went more than a couple of steps after meeting Mr. Speer.
I haven't heard the best things about the new Grand Slams, though.
