[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 685393, member: 52437"] Hey all, first id like to apologize for all the threads ive started. I do try to research before I make a new thread to avoid making duplicate threads but have not had much luck on this. I am wondering what factory ammo you all might recommend for hunting deer ony(for now). I know it depends on the range I will be hunting them so I will say less than 200 yards would be typical with a rare chance at a 400+ yard shot. So the bullets id say would be more important to function at 25-200 yards. I know the 300WSM is a bit overkill for this range but I do shoot once in a while at the 450+ ranges as well. That being said, im looks for info on brand, weight bullet, type of bullet. I know its tough to get good exit holes/vital shock destruction from a powerful gun at close ranges, this is why I am asking you experts on which bullets would be best for deer at the closer ranges to get decent expansion.:) Also one last question, will the leupold bases and rings (ones that have the windage adjustment in the back) hold up to the 300 WSM. I had them on my 7mm mag and they seemed to do fine. Regards, Brett [/QUOTE]
