I spent the long weekend cleaning out my reloading cabinet. In 30 years Ive accumulated countless partial boxes of bullets that never seemed to make the cut for hunting. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there are a few that always seem to perform WAY out of proportion to caliber and weight in certain applications. Three that come to mind are:

6mm Sierra 85gr HPBT (deer)
7mm 120 gr NBT (deer)
.270 150 Partition (anything short of dangerous game)

I'm not saying that any of them are the best choice for a particular animal, just that they seem to significantly outperform anything of similar size.

Any others?
