So, what would be the shortest distance yall would shoot a whitetail deer @, with a .30-378 Wby.???
I have been told that it's border-line...but not too destructive with Nosler 180gr. Accu-Bond @ 100-300 yards (meters...whatever).
If that holds-true, then would you recommend a neck-shot to preserve as much meat as possible???
What if the deer is closer than 100 yards????????
Will it travel-through too fast? Or will it just destroy too much meat???
I've never owned one...but I'm looking @ purchasing one.
I have a Remington 700-SF Sendero in 7mm-STW...and I've seen what it does to a deer @ 100 yards, and it wasn't pretty!!!
So, I put it up in the safe, and haven't taken it deer hunting since.
Would the .30-378 be comparable...as far as "collateral-damage" is concerned?
I know it has better ballistics than the 7mm-STW, and longer range capabilities...
...BUT that's about all I know? Oh, and that the bullets are like $130 a box!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm feeling a reloading setup, in my near future!!!
ENOUGH of my jib-jab..........OPINIONS........PLEASE!!!
Thanks,
