I would personally much rather hunt deer with a 300 WSM than a 223. The 300 will be 'too much gun' for most shots but I honestly don't give a [bleep].

Unless I was just gonna go out and shoot a doe or a dink and be picky about what shot I was gonna take. Then I'd take a 'stunt' shot with a 223.

Large buck running off +200 yards away and I'd pass on shooting a 223 but that's just me.


Dropped a 1000lb critter a couple weeks ago with one shot from a 243. DRT.....10 yard shot.
