Mule Deer, you have inspired many followers to become better hunters and "rifle loonies". Fifteen years ago I started really experimenting with various hand loads in all my rifles. I'm still yet to find the "perfect combination" but have killed most of my game with 117gr Hornady SPBT and 117gr sierras out of various .25 caliber rifles. The 7mm is one caliber I don't have much experience with, however I own several .280s, 7mm-08, 7x57. In the past I've owned a .284 and 7mm mag, but have never taken a head of game with a .7mm bullet..just lots of punching paper targets.

My friend has asked me to provide him with my top 5 bullets of choice, so far On the list:
139gr Hornady BTSP
180gr VLD Hybrid
160gr Partition

What are your top five? Also my friend has quite a selection of guns to choose from...would you steer towards another caliber like the .300WSM or 6.5-06, 25-06. Everybody please chime in!
