I am looking to take my 300BLK. anyone have any experience hunting deer with one? Whitetail or muledeer? Whitetail you can go as low as you want. I hunted last year with my 223 60 gr nosler partitions and had 110% confidence. I'd use a 90-125gr 30cal bullet without losing any sleep. Muleys id take 125+ gr Ragedracer wants to use his AR for muleys this fall. With a hot load is use 60gr partitions on muleys. My sister took her muley with 85gr PSP .243 dropped like a ton of bricks. |

I was looking at the 62gr or 70gr Barnes TSX. Pushed hard, it should get the job done. I know I can put the bullet where I want it.... |

i cant think of many places you will get a long enough shot for that round to be a problem. I use 7 mag because it drops the shit out of everything without hesitiation but 300 should work just fine. only had a couple of shots in my life I would need something better and fortunately I did which is why I always take th 7 mag hunting |

Quoted: I used my .257 Wby & 120grn Partitions for my whitetail last year, so I think I'll go up a bit. .300 H&H with 200grn Partitions it is.  LOL... Broadside shot only, otherwise you'll be carrying out nothing but bags of bloodshot burger. A guy I knew in Michigan had a Remington 700 chambered in .300RUM that he was dying to use on whitetail...which are just a little bigger up there than the deer rabbits found here. He had a spot where he could take a 700 yard shot down some fire roads. The season was drawing to a close and he hadn't seen anything. He ended up shooting a 110 lb spike buck at 10 yards. That deer looked like a prairie dog that got hit with a 55 gr. VMAX. |

That deer looked like a prairie dog that got hit with a 55 gr. VMAX. I can believe that. I've seen a small fork dropped by a .340 Wby at less than 50 yards. Last mulie I shot with my .300 was a broadside shot at 250. I was very pleased with the results. |

I've used both of those bullets to great effect on hogs and whitetails. Past about 300-325 they don't open up too much on lung shot deer. I have never recovered a single one of them regardless of shot angle. |

That deer looked like a prairie dog that got hit with a 55 gr. VMAX. a while back I had given up on shooting a big mule buck and it was the last day of my hunt so I decided to shoot the next antlered deer that came my way. Happened to be a little bitty spike at about 20 yards. Hit him at an angle with 150 gr 7 mag. exit wound was square in the shoulder and there was almost nothing but bits and pieces of stew meat left of that shoulder. |
| I just found out I didnt even get put in for the draw. I found out the server was having problems when I was trying to put in and I didnt get put in. The lady at game G&F told me there is always leftover tags. Has anyone ever bought leftover tags, or should I just call it a wash since I ended up not being charged for anything. |

Leftover tags will probably be south, way south. Bring a AR-15 as backup to fend off the cartel guys... |
