Canadian_Goose Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 will the .300 win mag consistantly shoot 150 gr bullets or will they fly like a bat out of heck. I was just wondering because i am looking at getting one and i would like to try it for deer. Any other advice on the .300 win mag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Re: .300 win mag 150 gr You won't know until you try it. As to how it groups them, who knows? Every gun is different in what it likes. That is light for that size of a case. I like 180-200 gr bullets in the magnums. I use 165 gr in the 30-06 and 150 gr in the 308 Win.

Shaun_300 Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Re: .300 win mag 150 gr I used to use the 180's out of my .300 Win Mag for deer. They never did too much damage to the meat. I'm not too sure about the 150's, but I thought that they would do a bit more damage than the 180's. I've switched to the .300 WSM now, and I use the 180's out of that as well. Once I get my scope on it, and I'm field hunting, I may try the 150gr out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Re: .300 win mag 150 gr If you want to eat what you're shooting, then load some premium, controlled-expansion 150's like a Partition, Grand Slam or X bullet. Your standard 150's (and especially Ballistic Tips) upset too violently on a deer at most all hunting distances. They'll take a lot of venison out with them.
