« on: April 18, 2010, 08:18:29 PM »
mine, 270 wsm 130 or 140 gran, or 300wsm 168 gr. If i had to choose one it would be the 270 140gr as my most versatile.

I don't know if it's the best well rounded because after I started using it I haven't shoot anything else. It has been impressive on everything I have shot.

.300 ultra mag
180 grain
Accubond

Here is the bullet after a 350 yard shot on my Montana mule deer last year.

me 3...it will handle anything this continent has to offer. 180 accubonds for me.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

270 win, 140 Nosler accubond with RL-19, or 30-06 with 150 Hornaday interlock with IMR 4350. Those two loads have killed a crap load of game for me and my family!

i carry an old tang safety m77 338wm, runs 215 sierra game kings, knocks em all flat from grouse to elk. i would say in my humble opinion that the most well rounded cartridge is the 30/06 especially in the old days when they still made accelerators(i still have a couple boxes of those)

I would call up the 3006 in 165 grain partitions or Accubonds at around 3000fps.  Working on a 270 WSM with 150 grain bullets that will pick up the majority of my future hunting plans. :twocents:

300 WM with 180 Barnes TSX over an undisclosed dose of H4831SC

32 WS 170 FP over a dose of 3031.
A Smith & Wesson Beats Four Aces.

Ruger m77 MKII in 7mm Mag. 154 grn Hornady Innerbond over 63 grns of IMR4831. Not only knocks them flat every time but I don't think that since i've fine tuned that load that I've ever had a group looser than 1/2" regardless of the yardage. Its just a plain old tack driver
