I deserved that after my rude post last night.
Actually.. on our little Blacktail here, 150 Grain Corelokts at .300 Savage velocity do just fine. I got a bear this year with my .250 and I had it sighted in with 100 Grain Silvertips.
I've got no excuse. I need to get my reloading stuff set up.

Thats a nice looking buck. It looks fat. I love hunting pictures with an old Savage in them.

Those lead chuckers had me convinced I couldn't kill a deer with anything but homemade lead. Man oh man am I confused.

A 130gr TTSX from a 300 Savage stopped a north bound hog with Massatwoshitts shot with aplomb. ![[Linked Image]](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b297/Shoalcove/Texas/Hog.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b297/Shoalcove/Texas/Hog2.jpg)

You seem a little too familiar with the vernacular for that shot. Maybe you should sight your guns in to shoot 6" higher... You forgot Texas heart shot and my personal favorite-
The Liberal Shot

Bottom line: shoot what you have confidence in. Pretty much any darn gun and cartridge ever made can concievably kill a deer.
I used to be super anal about hand loading. Then I wised up and sat back and had fun with it.

Just fill the cases full, scrape off the extra, seat whatever bullet you have the most of and go hunting.
