[QUOTE="Buano, post: 2456057, member: 21641"] At 300 yards and in, any of the loads you listed will do the job. (300-Yards is a relatively short shot for the .308.) To maximize your blood trail you want complete pass-throughs with a fully mushroomed bullet. The fully mushroomed bullet increases trauma and will increase blood in the meat unless you limit shots to head and upper neck. You can limit the amount of blood clots in the meat by draining the blood almost immediately after shooting a deer. I favor lighter bullets to minimize meat damage. For this reason I would opt for the 130 grain Barnes you have listed. [/QUOTE]
