Federal Premium Vital Shock, 180grn Barnes Triple Shock!

If my old "turty naught six" was any better with something else I doubt I would have anymore guns (well ok so that's a stretch),

Federal Premium V-shock 165gr Nosler Partition.
Winchester Supreme 150gr Failsafe
and last but not least,
Federal Premium v-shock 150gr Sierra Gameking

These are three of the best bullets made and loaded by the two best manufacurers. I will be trying the new Winchester bullet similar to the failsafe but with a poly tip

I've just taken up deer hunting, and have gone four-for-four using Remington's Managed Recoil ammunition (three whitetails and a fallow).

For thesmaller deer we have here in Texas, it's great stuff, as far as I'm concerned.

For deer I have had good luck with the 150 grain Federal BLUE box ammo loaded thith Speer Grand Slam bullets. For bigger game, the 165 or 180 grain Nosler partition.

My buddy shoots 150 gr Speer Grand Slams through his 270win and has had great, i mean great, results.This bullet leaves a devestating woundchannel. I have always wanted to trythis bullet in my -06.

Depends on the animal being hunted cause there is no one bullet that I would choose to do it all.

For deer only the regular ole 150 grain core lokt from Remington will put any deer down.

If stepping up to elk and moose I want a bullet like a 180 grain TBBC or A-frame.

I really don't have a favorite. I just want a bullet that is right for the game and situation I will be hunting in.

If I did have to choose a single bullet to do everything I would probably pick the 180 grain accubond from Federal.
