6.5x55 Swede 140 gr Hornady Amax
307 Winchester 170 gr Hornady flat points
30-06 165 gr btsp probably Sierra or Speer
12 ga slugs for the slug barrel whatever I find when it's time, and 00 buckshot for that barrel, don't really hunt with it much though.

Savage 110 30-06; either 165 gr core-lokts or gamekings, whichever shoots best. both handloads in front of 56 gr. of IMR 4350 at 2770 fps. used corelokts last year, trying something new this year - - maybe
