120gr Barnes X bullet @ about 3350, 7mm Remington Magnum since about 1990. Caribou, Black Bear, Elk, Mule Deer and Coues Deer. I used the last of them I handloaded a few years ago and no longer reload. Last year I shot an Elk at 400 yards using factory Barnes 160gr TSX and it worked very well.
I was shooting HSM with 168gr Bergers which were extremely accurate but after shooting a Coues Deer in Mexico a few years I found it to be too explosive. I have some ADG Brass and am going to have a friend work up a load with some Nosler 160gr Accubonds. That ought to last me a couple of more decades if I live to be 91.

I've always been partial to Nosler partitions ... get it?
Seriously tho, they have proved to really bring them down!

.38 Speer hollow based wadcutter, loaded in a .357 case & 3 grains of bullseye in a 10 Contender bbl. This combo would agg an inch & a half at 50 yards. Perfect for squirrels, less meat damage than a .22 HP. Just pokes a hole right through the body & they drop like a sack of potatos. Also worked well on large feral dogs.
