What bullet will you be using this deer season??

180 gr Berger Hunting VLD in 280AI
120 Amax in 260 rem.
115 Berger Hunting VLD in 25/06
maybe 210 VLD in 300RUM if I have a tag left and a chance to get out LR
already have one down with 100gr. G5 T3 on a Beman ICS Hunter at a whopping 270FPS!
 
.357 magnum 158gr semi jacketed hp 6" revolver for 50yd and under

.308 Hornady 165 gr SST for 300Y-500Y

everything between 51 - 299 Yards walks

180 RN subsonic load if i get it together b4.
 
For mule deer, I have not decided yet but it will either be a 140 hybrid from a 260 or a 105 hybrid from the 6XC... leaning toward the XC. For whitetail it will be a 225FTX from my 44mag contender.
 
150 gr nosler 30-06
140 gr amax 6.5 creed
115 nosl part. 25-06
140 game king 280 rem

Loved the amax out of my 308..

Have you had any experience with the on game performance of hybrids on deer? I'm contemplating the 140s in my 260. Otherwise I'll just go with the 155 Lapua in my 308.

No not personally with the hybrids, I have used the hunting VLD's with great success, A-max and Scenar's... but I have heard some good results with the 105 6mm hybrid and figured I give them or the 140 6.5mm a try this season after I do some water jug testing.
 
As an experiment, just purchased a Savage Axis II XP .30-'06 and several boxes of Hornady American Whitetail .30-'06/150gr SP Interlock. I understand this factory loading is basically the older Custom line rebranded as American Whitetail. This setup (if it zeroes acceptably at 200yd tomorrow) is intended to become my dedicated deer rifle.
