[QUOTE="Morrison, post: 1515523, member: 12911"] I have shot deer with the 375 Winchester and had the same result. I shot Elk with 270 Short mag and also had the same result. You indicate that there was no exit wound which tells me that perhaps you were shooting sub sonic. The 300 Blk is more than sufficient for deer at out to 100 yards but it has to be loaded correctly. If you are not reloading you can buy 110 grain Barnes loaded in factory which will do the job or any expanding bullet in the 110 to 130 grain range. These also work well for Hogs and I can honestly say a tough old Hog is much harder to harvest than a thin skinned Deer. They even have ammunition for the 300Blk labeled as Hog Hammers. Your shot was good and the caliber is sufficient, sounds like the ammunition selection was wrong. [/QUOTE]
