What bullets are you shooting this season?

[Priority 4]

168 grain Barnes Tipped TSX!

I have come to love the Gold Dots (Fusions) in my 6.8 SPC "pig rig" (115g), 260ai (140g), and 243 (95g). They mushroom wide and perfectly, go through bone or the boiler with equal performance, and don't tear up the meat like cup and cores. For pigs and deer I'm sold. Lager that 6.5; then I'm more into the Nosler Partitions or Berger hunting bullets. I only hunt, so couldn't reccomend any match stuff.

30-06:
152 grain HH and 150 grain TTSX. Still deciding on Hammers.
175 grain Edge TLR

300 WM:
150 grain TTSX
175 grain LRX
175 grain Edge TLR (working on load for 2022)

If Hammers perform well over many years I may switch everything to Hammers. Only one Mule deer doe thus far. My son hit her broadside 303 yards. Was not DRT but it was a near perfect meat saver shot. Good blood trail. She walked 20-30 yards and laid down never to move again. Still too early to tell.

I may try hammers if I can’t find Berger’s or Hornady for my 280ai

I had to load some non-lead bullets for hunting this year. I chose the Cutting Edge Bullets 180grain Lazer for my 300WM. They are listed as single feed only but they just barely loaded from my 700 magazine. Ladder test at 650 yards got me to 78 grains of Retumbo for a load. I dropped two bucks this year with this round. One didn’t go 20, and the other didn’t go nothing. Hoping to see how it performs on a bear this fall.

If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your load data for this bullet? ie mv, and especially COAL. I’m a little hesitant about the single feed disclaimer

6.5CM - 140 ELDM

Tried and true, going on 4 or 5 years now. Have a good store of them, as I dont see any reason to use any other bullet on deer size game and down. I dont elk hunt, but I'm sure they would be great for that as well.

What is the load you are using to get the 124gr hunters to that speed in your 270?
