Default Best deer bullet ????

Give Me Your thoughts on the best medium game bullet You have used. Something that would be good for deer in the 120 to 150 G arena. You pick Your favorite calaber, I will be using 284 / 7mm. I am just talking about bullet preformance, not calaber size. Thanks in advance !!!

I have found the Nosler Partition bullets to work very well on game of all sizes. In the 7mm size,140 and 160 grain weights are both very good choices for deer up to big mulies!

I have had great results with the 140 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip shot from a 7mm-08. Although I have not shot them in 7mm, I used 150 grain Nosler accubonds from a .30-06 this past deer season. They seemed to give the accuracy of the Ballistic Tips, yet held together better. All exited the three deer I shot this year, after encountering a combination of shoulders, ribs, spinal column, etc. The internal wound channel resembled Balistic Tip performance. I'm sold on the Accubond for deer!!

My best bud shoots 280 and 7mm mag and he likes the accubond (140 grain I think) and the hornady interbond (160 grain I think) I have seen them used and they both work well.

.277 Cal 130grn Nosler Bt.

Looks like a bomb went off inside of a deer. Bullet fragments everywhere. No need for blood trail if the deer is laying right where you shot him. My perfect bullet/shot makes you think the deer didnt even hear the gun go off before it was dead.

No pun intended, but this is really a loaded question. You can't give the best deer bullet without giving the caliber. If I was to say 100 gr. It would be correct for a .243 but not a 30-06. So with that my preference is as follows:
.243 100 gr Nosler BT or Hornady Interlock
.270 130 gr Nosler BT
.284 139 gr Hornady Interlock
.308 150 - 180 gr Hornady Interlock
.35 200 Gr Hornady
.458 - 300 gr Hornadys
You seeing a pattern her? I hope so, cause IMO you don't need a Premium bullet for deer.
