I'm looking for suggestions on what 350l factory ammo for deer hunting. I'm not asking about accuracy, only performance on game. Thanks

I’m been using winchester deer season 150s. The two deer I shot to date have dropped with in 15 yards of where I shot them. Both were shot at 180 yards ( ranged). Same results with an other guy that hunts with same ammo in Ohio with me. I am hunting there next week. I don't plan to make any ammo changes.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

My son shoots his 350 Legend subsonic. I am about finished loading the 205 gr Maker for him to use this weekend.

I have used the Winchester 150gr XP and killed two deer with it last season. It performed as advertised.
I’m going to buy some of the new Hornady Black 150gr interlocks to see how they perform.

Have experienced decent results with the Winchester 150gr Deer Season XP. My mother has taken three bucks with this load. All shot around 100 yards. Lung shots with pass throughs. Boy used the Barnes 170gr on Saturday during our youth season. Young buck shot at 60yards. Complete pass through both shoulders. This was his first deer hunt and I wanted a little stronger bullet in case buck fever affected his shooting ability.

for me:
#1 Hornady 170 grain #2 Winchester 180 grain
I haven't tried the `150 or 160 grain offerings, but think they would be great performers. Its just that my CVA will put them in about 1.5" or less at 100 yards. If I put a different scope on, I think I could get down to 1" on paper.
The expert at anything was once a beginner.
