[QUOTE="NateDBigTex, post: 2697880, member: 124122"] Just by judging what I saw in 3 days of scouting and 7 days of hunting it seems to me that the larger caliber and higher velocity rounds are the way to go. During scouting most higher quality deer where out a stretch between 400-600 yards and depending on glassing advantage very awkward angles for a Texas guy. Now that I have been and fully understand the needs and demands, I believe that the 300 RUM is the perfect gun for the challenge. Seems to me for these deer a round between 150-200gr is plenty as long as you have enough behind it to shot it flat and long if needed. I practiced for weeks preparing to shoot confidently out to 600 and killed my deer at 115 yards, beautiful part of the world and I will be back. Next task is Bull Elk. [/QUOTE]
