My buddies in Texas just used the 300gr Factory loads on deer/hogs. My friend up here, who has always used a first run, straight grip 1895 uses nothing but the Hornady 350RN in handloads. He has killed mule deer and elk with it. I liked how the Federal 300 Speer ( they call it a "Plinker", can you imagine?) shot in my 45-70s I have played with.
