There is another way to look at what bullet to use, it bothers me when some of these people say this is the best bullet like there was only one, I have a lot of best bullets and loads, the most talked about is what to use for deer; ok deer in the thick woods on my own property I use 110 gr of 777-FF and a 250 Gold Dot I know my shots there will be under a 100yds usually under 50yds; but I almost always draw a tag for both of the near by refuges different circumstances long shots possable so I use 110 gr 777-FF and a Shock Wave 200gr -50/40 sighted to be 3 inches high @100yds and it will be dead on at about 175yds and 4 inches low at 200yds and since I have taken deer with both loads I can tell you they both work very well, but when I go elk hunting I use a 300gr Gold Dot or a 300gr SW circumstances change what is best and if you adapt to them it gives you better odds of sucess.
