[BIG buck Barry]

I shoot a 7mm weatherby mag and i have found over the years that the 7mm's gererally like the lighter weight bullets. I shoot 150 grain barns X and they are going at 3200ft/second. There is no doubt in my mind that every time I try a new powder it has to be at or just over max grains to get the best accuracy. The balistics will tell your that anything over 160 grians for the bullet will cost you dearly in speed. Since i have swicthed to the barns X (yes expencive) i have yet to have a bullet not pass through on a moose or deer (can't seem to find a Elk to try it on). I'm all about speed and accuracy and don't care much about bullet weight. The barns X gives the pass thruogh that you need for a blood trail if it is needed. That is way more important than a big old slow bullet stuck in a moose's shoulder any day. Over all it is best to gun down and up the accuracy. I have been fortunate to only have wounded and lost two animals in 82 kills. Practice pays.
