[QUOTE="flyguy1, post: 1931569, member: 92595"] No such thing as overkill if you shoot them through the lungs. Shot lots of big whitetails (not that big though) with 300WM and 180gr Barnes TTSX. Sounds like you will have plenty of opportunity so no reason to take some crazy quartering shot that could lead to a gut shot animal or ruin meat. I own a 6.5 but haven't hunted deer with it and may not; just got it to play around with. According to some on here, though, it is good for anything up to moose and polar bear ;) [/QUOTE]
