[QUOTE="pooldoc, post: 1019848, member: 53618"] Whitetails are my primary target on our lease in West Texas on the Edwards Plateau. Body weight of a mature free range WT in that part of the state are generally in the 125 to 160 lb. range. We do have an abundance of feral hogs on our lease and its not uncommon to kill a 250 lb one. We also have free range Axis, Fallow and Aoudad in that area. The Aoudad ram I killed 2 years was 275 lbs. Over the last 3 years everything I killed, except for the aoudad, was shot with a 300 gr SST. He was killed with a 250 Gr Barnes TMZ. I've stayed with the heavier bullets because of their greater retained energy at longer ranges. I would have no problem with hunting elk with my standard load. I might step up to a 115 to 120 gr load of BH 209, as long as my accuracy was not affected. [/QUOTE]
