[QUOTE="valleyloader, post: 874925, member: 73166"] I agree with all who said use bullets that are less likely to "explode". The use of monolithic bullets such as Barnes TTSX for example will stay together under any velocities that you can achieve with a 300 win mag. The "blowing up" of a deer as it is described is caused when a jacketed bullet hits a target and fragments, this sends many small pieces of core and jacket throughout the target. I have been using barnes ttsx exclusively for short range hunting in southwest PA where deer hunting is often much like rabbit hunting. I have hit deer with a 300 win mag at close range (inside 50 yards) with a max charge of H4350 under a 150 grain ttsx with little more damage than I remember grandpa's 30-40 krag inflicting. I think unless recoil is the real concern behind reducing your loads, your best bet is just get different bullets. IMO [/QUOTE]
