Sounds to me like a .270 Winchester would be in order, use any good 130gr(I like Speer Grand Slams and I just bought 200 Nosler Partitions from SPS). Close to the same trajectory as your .300, but with a LOT less recoil, BIG medicine on whitetails.


I'm on board with this. Shot a lot of deer at various distances with the 270,7mm's,and 30's loaded with Partitions of various weights....only one instance of excessive damage jumped out at me,and that was on an 80 yard lung shot with a 140 gr at 3300 fps from a 7 rem mag. Two steps and down...blood shot on the off side ribs but that was it.

Tougher bullet construction minimizes the blasting/shredding effect of high velocity impact.

The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
