Seems to me that cartridge lends itself to a single bullet in the 140-grain class for all 'round use. The possible exception might be a specialty fur load, designed for use in a reduced-velocity round. Not the first choice for that task, obviously.

I have a box of 139 Scenars and will get a box of 143 ELDXs Hornies when I can find them. No doubt in my mind that any bullet stuffed in this case will take whitetails cleanly at sane ranges.
