Use some old-school soft points. Most newer premium bullets seem to just hold together a little too well for lighter game like deer.

I've had the same issue for the last two deer I've shot; 300WM with Barnes Triple Shocks. Great for heavy game, not at all for deer.

More sunset Heaven hugs tonight. Flying to Pasko for Brenda's funeral.



God is great.

I have my boy shooting the nosler 140 grain Ballistic tips and they shoot great and has dropped both deer he has shot at since he was able to start hunting last year.
I am starting to reload some new ones for him and going to use the Nosler 120 Ballistic tips .
I shoot a 7×57 Ackley Improved that's loves the 120s and have killed everything from bison, elk,deer,antelope, black bears, coyotes and other varmints.

Most of the deer went shoot with the ehornady north American white tail 7-08 drop or stumble 20 to 30 yards and they leave plenty of blood. Use the same ammo in 243 with the same result.

BUT my bou said the 170gr North American whitetail out of his 350 legend was not leaving good blood and its the most recent we have bought. Makes me wonder if they had changes alloys or something with the bullet. I buy in larger amount when its on sale and the 7/08 ammo we have been shooting is several years old. WoNder how it will preform when I have to break open the next ammo can I filled up with ammo from a sale a year or two ago.

I’m guessing the homeless cause impaired waterways, they gotta go someplace.

A few days ago compared to today.
Snoqualmie falls, about 20 miles east of Seattle.

Or your girlfriend's have always been non argumentable

That looks like a .308 nosler E tech bullet.

So instead, you built an addition and are now moving to, was it Colorado? I can't keep you straight. Good luck on your next "adventure" Bruce.

Thanks Yote. I had not seen this treasure of a post.

If not handloads, Federal Premium.
Nosler, Barnes, Swift,
any beats the rem or win for terminal performance.

If you ever get a chance to handload take it.
It'll make you a better shot.

Didn't know they sold them. I always call and place my order and thankfully I have never had a problem.

Seems strange that a company with as good of cakes that they have and a good reputation would partner up with such an inferior product. I guess it's the old "anything to make a buck."
