Wow what a can of worms this question always brings out. You'd prob have to state what they are for and then get 10 different answers. My only comment will be IMO you dont need bonded or all copper bullets for thin skinned game like deer.

Whichever your gun shoots the best. Buy several brands and weights, go to the range and find out.

whatever you're gun likes best. For deer size game all you need is a 140gr of whatever design pleases you're fancy. You dont need a bonded bullet to kill a whitetail.

i have guns that shoot best withmatchkings, but every gun is individual, even among the same manufactors, you can get close (Probably close enough) with someone else's load data,but for ultra tight grouping it will take experimenting,for hunting i prefer patitions and scrirocco(sp), although iam nota big fan of the ballistic tip type bullets they do shoot very well,the original post didn't mention hunting or target shooting so i'm not sure which you were looking for, BTW welcome to the forums rebeng

My NEF 7mm-08 shoots best with 140 grain Corlocks. I tried six or eight different bullets these were the best by quite a bit.

After trying it this past season, I'm not sure you need the fancy bonded core bullets even for elk with this caliber. Long story, but we are going to try the Gamekings or the Ballistic Tips next time around.
