7 mm rem mag however likes the 168's.
The 7 has to have a long jump for tighter groups, the others do not. I don't believe I need to shoot these Northern Missouri deer with them, as I really like the meat, not to waste any.

Yep. I guess my biggest gripe about Berger hunting is how hard they are to develop loads in in some rifles. They are superr picky. I loaded up some 130gr vld hunting last night for my 6.5x55. it's usually a 3/4 minute or better rifle. My first group of 5 was 9" at 200 yards. I am sure with minor tweaking, I will dial that bullet in, but it is astounding how great and how terrible the bullet can shoot in the same rifle. I honestly do not think I could make any other bullet shoot that bad in that rifle if I tried to.
