RE: Favorite caliber and load for whitetails....
Depends on what gun I'm holding that day. 257 Roberts 117 gr btsp or 90 gr bthp, 6.5x55 140 gr interlok, 270 WSM 130 gr ballistic tip, 30-06 180 gr ballistic silver tip, 35 Whelen 200 gr interlok. That's all for deer. If the opportunity for larger game came up I'd be doing some load development for the Interbond, Accubond, Partition and maybe the the new tipped TBBC's. Perhaps even the triple shocks.
