I shot one deer over 300. Had a .308 Winchester at the time. I intend to kill a deer with a .223 using a 70 grain TSX this year. I don't care how big (or little) the deer turns out to be, I know that bullet will do what I need it to do. They shoot into well under an inch and the chrony says they leave at just over 3000.
I would like to see a deer that I'd be hesitant to shoot with that load. I mostly shoot deer to eat, but one that big might be worth popping. Never heard of a deer getting that big, but you just never know.
