So, I have been a pheasant hunter all my life, but am working on branching out into waterfowl, and Elk/Deer.

With regard to the latter two, and since this coincides with my entry into metallic reloading, I am curious about ya'lls opinions on the best bigger game bullets out there.

Currently I am only doing .308, but will probably eventually get into larger calibers too (300 and/or 338 Win Mag, etc), so lay it on me.

Also, I know that Colorado regs require 6mm or larger, and 1000ft/lb of energy at 100yd, but I want to know what really does the job, as that doesn't really eliminate any .308 bullet.
