[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 233366, member: 12995"] 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, Slayyer22 [/QUOTE]
