Hello All,
Due to expected clear cutting of my local state game lands it appears I may have a one time chance to hunt deer from 300 out to 1000+ yards this year. Now I have a new 8 twist .300 WM barrel coming in and was wondering which bullet would provide better performance on Whitetails out to that distance or if there was even a difference in the terminal performance?
For background info I've been running these two bullets in my current 300 WM barrel(30" with a 10 twist) and holding between 1/4 and 1/3 MOA with both loads. Using the 77gr H1000 puts the 212 at 3005 fps while 74.7gr H1000 puts the 225 at 2910 fps.
Thanks for any advice you can give me.
