I'd like to find a bullet I can use on deer, hogs and elk. Any thoughts on Speer's performance or should start working up loads using Noslers? I'm currently using Re 17 and Big Game but, I have a pound of Varget which is hard to get here in OK. Your thoughts will be appreciated.

Used the speer 145 BTs in the 7mm-08 and 280 but only on deer so far all with good results have used the speer 180 BTs in the 30-06 for everything from gopher to grizzly with good results if they shoot well out of your gun see no reason to try others.
