Admittedly, I've killed more game with the 150 and 175 than the 160. I can't see where the 160 NAB would NOT work, on about anything! smile

Seems to me the Col, was onto something.

I like 160's with the 7RM, 140's with the 7-08. Not that other combos won't work, those seem pretty well balanced.

I also like the 120 NBT over BG powder with the 7-08. Tough bullet, good accuracy, good velocity, effective at whacking WT's and hogs.
