Default Poll: what caliber, weight and bullet for deer?

i'm curious as to what you guys will all be using this fall for deer. this shouldn't turn into a debate as to which is better. just post up what u will be using for deer.

i'll be using

7mm rem mag, hornady custom ammo, 162gr boat tail spire point with interlock.

post what caliber, what bullet weight and what kind of bullet design u'll use this fall.

cheers

I think I will go with Nosler Partitions this year. 100 grainers out of the 243 and 140s out of the 7mm-08. I don't know if I will break out the 300 this year, but if I do I will be using up the 150s I have left before I go to 165s.

This fall I'll use a .308 with Federal Premium 150 grain soft points. Last fall I mainly used a 7mm Rem. Mag. with Federal Premium 150 grain SPBT but carried a 7.62x39 with Remington 125 soft points for kicks a couple days.
