What bullet did you use this year?

139 Scenar @ 3035fps from a PRC, just over 200yds on a mature muley buck. Bullet acted as the 139’s always have for me, caliber in and bullet found under opposite hide, slushy vitals. I’ve had probably 25% exit on deer and bears, they act like a slightly tougher Berger.
 
Two does and a black bear with 45 cal 200gr sst sabots out of my inline muzzleloader. The bear dropped on impact the two does fan 40-50 yards each leaving a good blood trail.
Four does with a 95 Berger classic hunter out of a 6mm Rem. 180-470 yards the furthest track was 50 yards.
Two does with a 90 absolute hammer out of a 25-06. 180-200 yards impact, only one ran 40 yards leaving a good blood trail.
 
120 grain 7mm-08 Barnes Vor-TX. Double lung, white tailed deer, went 40 yards.
In the past, I used the same gun and ammo for a pronghorn at 250 yards, a mule deer at 367 yards, and a cow elk at 250 yards. I recovered the bullet from the cow elk. It had expanded to 14mm, and it retained 94% of its original weight. Nine years ago, I used the same ammo, in 165 grains, 300-win mag on a bull moose at 335 yards. Also, double lung, it was a puddle inside when field dressed and it died 15 yards from where i shot it. I use that ammo in 5 different calibers. I find it to be very accurate and effective for me.
