Got a little stand my late son's best friend sits me in. Shot a little 5 point this year with my 308. Certainly did the job.
However, longest shooting lane is about 90 yards. I got a 300 BO upper and I am itching to take it our this year. I am trying 2 types of ammo right now. Hornady 110 grain VMax and Sierra 125 grain Gamechanger.
While the VMax is a varmint cartridge and basically fragments, I have read up that folks have had good luck on deer. You also get about another 100 ft lbs of energy over the 125 grain Gamechanger.
But, who does not love a Sierra TGK for deer?
The other reason I am asking is I can get IACC ammo with the 100 VMax for about $13 a box.
Anyway, leaning toward the Sierra, but thought on a Friday afternoon with deer season over, might be a good convo. Debating on reloading as well. Ammo is super cheap, but I am sure I could stretch the 300 BO legs with some handloads.
