[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 869539, member: 796"] Years ago I played around with loading all sorts of different bullet weights in various medium caliber deer rifles. What finally worked its way into my mind was: 1. There always seems to be a "sweet spot" where the bullet weight just matches the rifle and shoots best (this was before the Browning BOSS). 2. Even if I could get a light bullet load and a medium bullet load to work, they shot to very different points of aim, and the rifle was always zeroed to the "other" load when I wanted to shoot. So, I now just use one weight bullet per rifle, and whatever I shoot with my .270 rifle gets a dose of 130gr, for example. Deer, coyote, pig, even have shot the heads off rabblts. The only concession I make is to use a Partition for elk, and a Hornady Interbond when not elk hunting (they shoot to the same group). Long winded way of saying if you want to shoot all day in a dogtown, I'd take a .22-250. [/QUOTE]
