[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1724391, member: 110162"] I use to hear guys coming in the shop all the time complaining that their 300WM was too fast for hunting in the Ga woods because the deer they shot at 35 yds ran 300 yds and only left 6 drops of blood because the bullet blew right through. Ever single time this happened, the guy had picked the wrong bullet for the job. Of course, this was the average seasonal hunter that bought ammo off the shelf. They had magnum fever and thought that a load that was designed for large, heavy bones critters would do an even better job on your average 100 lbs doe. I'd always just throw them a box of WW 150 PPs or 150 corelocks and tell them to try those. Alot of guys would come back in a few days looking to trade their 300 mag for something that didnt destroy so much meat, lol..........its all relative. [/QUOTE]
