Select a winner from the finalists listed below. Thanks for playing along, and helping me decide where to begin the process of selecting a bullet for elk and/or mule deer. I’ll be loading for a .280AI w/ a 26” 1:8 barrel.

Miss Utah - Barnes 168gr LRX. She’s big, sturdy, and dependable when it matters.
Miss Oregon - Nosler 160gr Accubond. Often the darling of the dance, she wins popularity contests for a reason.
Miss Montana - Hammer 153gr HHT. She’s a purdy one, with lots of interesting curves and bumps. Word on the street is that she is fast… really fast!
Miss Minnesota - Federal 170gr Terminal Ascent. Don’t let the shiny exterior fool you. Underneath the shimmer and bling is one tough lady. Her reputation is well earned!
Miss Nebraska - Hornady 162gr ELDX. She’s sleek and sexy. Some say she is soft, but they don’t really know her.
Miss Nebraska’s Younger Sister - Hornady 160gr CX. Don’t overlook the younger sister. A plain wrapper sometimes hides the life of the party.
Miss Missouri - DRT 165gr Terminal Shock. She’s the new girl in town, and not being well known makes her seem exotic… and kinda sexy.
 
Thanks for that suggestion… I don’t have any Berger 168gr VLD Hunters in my bullet stash, but that is easily remedied. I think the judges could allow Miss Arizona to join the finalists.
Haha
Shes worth getting to know.
And so is the 160 Sierra TMK “miss America” mentioned above.

Can’t wait to see some groups and velocity numbers!
