Hey all. I'm looking to get into a new rifle for the next deer season. Looking for consistency from 50-250 yards(that's my hunting spot), flat and powerful but not not overly destructive
With a 250 yard limit I would go with .308 and 180 grain bullets. There isn't a need for the flattest or fastest, only *flat enough*, and for your distances this will suffice. The beauty of heavier / slower is it generally wrecks less meat.
