Tender vittles broadside at 100 yards in a hayfield.(close to the house)

Big toad mulie angling away right before dark at 450 yards.(slight breeze....grin)

So many variables.

I honestly think a 270 Win-300 mag hurts a deer way more if the shot isn't a good one but at the same time the 223, 22-250 and 220 Swift have killed a tremendous amount of deer in the hands of good riflemen/hunters.
