[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 304500, member: 2011"] I'm assuming WI white tails @ 1k maybe plus a little. The only variable I'm not familiar with, in your neck of the woods, is winds. The 300 RUM w/200 gr bullets will do the job. A consideration would be recoil under field conditions. I've found that less recoil under less than perfect set up conditions is better........ Gravity is pretty much consistent across the state but windage is constantly variable. Thus the higher the bc the better off one is going to be. For deer your size, if they are not humongous as in Canadian deer, any thing between 6mm and 7mm would be sufficient with a sufficient cartridge to move the bullet out there. I'm shooting a 140 NAB in 270 cal pill at ~3600 and its plenty sufficient for bro deer anywhere in North America at a considerable distance. Plus its flaaaaatttt shootin. [/QUOTE]
