RE: Favorite caliber and load for whitetails....
Loves the old 7x57!Early on all I could find was 175gr loads but they worked great.Last few years I've used Rem CL 140gr.Next season I'll be trying my new .280 with 140gr handloads.

RE: Favorite caliber and load for whitetails....
ORIGINAL: Frank in the Laurels 7mm Remington Magnum....does it all in my humblest of opinions.. will work from 5 yards to as far as you'd care to shoot at one.. the only limit would be you and the quality of your equipment.... I've dropped them out to 700 yards with no problem whatsoever.. I know of individuals who've done it much further than that... I use 140 grain nosler partitions and noting else, neverhad a bullet fail and never had to fire a second shot to killany animal. Fueled by 62 grain of H-4350 and a Remington 9 1/2 magnum primer.... also the bullets are seated with a Wilson Straight line seater... HARD cartridge to beat, for multiple distance and all types of conditions.. |

120gr Barnes TSX Handloads... I don't remember what powder and all... I wrote it down so I wouldn't have to remember. No recoil... plenty flat enough shooting for me... plenty of horsepower... bang - flop. |
