Thanks, all. Looks like the 158gr XTP is the ticket. I think I'll experiment with WIN296, and Lil Gun. Rhino

I'm in total agreement with Dave R. Spending a little money before you spend a lot of money will potentially save you a lot of headache/$$ later. Remington model 700 action is widely considered one of the best. Why not make sure you're getting what you're paying for? It's also the best way...

I shoot a Rossi with an 18" barrel. I'm looking for a full power magnum load for deer out to...say 75 yds (max!!). I have some load data that has a 160 gr FP at about 1880 FPS. I know many will tell me a .375 isn't enough for deer. I dissagree. I think 1) if you get the right bullet 2)put...
