I've just gotten into reloading for my .300 win mag, and from what I've read, the .300 win mag is a little over powered for deer, even out to 200 yards. Past that, I here it's pretty good. I figure this season I'll load it full power with 180gn Game Kings or Noslers for elk, but use a lighter loading for deer, something that brings it down to .30-06 range of performance.
My question is: what bullets, what load for deer? I'm shooting at the range right now with 165gn Sierra Game King's and accuracy is good. The starting load with my H4350 is 66gn and gives something like 2900 fps. I was planning on sticking with this for deer season, and then loading closer to the max for elk with 180gn bullets, to whatever charge weight shoots the best at the range.
