Lightest i’d go would be 90-95g. what 80 grain load you using? it’s not light. many of the youngins use it as there first gun. i started with a 222. and i have a 223 now that i use specifically for doe. .223 with a 6-24 scope. if you need a cannon to kill a deer, than you just suck. ---

look it up!!! .22 rimfires are a nono, but a .222 or .223 centerfire is fine. actually all it says is minimum requirment is a centerfire rifle. it doesn’t say a size. ---

If you are hunting fields it is easy to get a shot that far. The 264 is +/- 3 inches out to 330 yards, but the recoil is pretty stout for a 26 caliber but you can’t argue with 125 grain nosler partitions at 3400 fps. I screwed around with trying to get a 100 grain barnes x bullet to 3700 fps to get flat out to 350-360 but decided that was being a little ridiculous. I don’t own one but the cadillac of flat shooting deer rifles is the 25-06 ackley improved. 100 grains at 3500 fps and recoil like a 260 remington. I think I might need to get me one of those. ---

just most area’s i hunt at dont require much longer than 150yards in which .243-30-06 will do great most deer i killed are under 50 yards. i think i only shot one at longer than that 300 ultra is a big burly cartridge. i seen what this one guy i hunt with’s 300 weatherby does to deer at short range… about a softball size exit hole thru the chest… that just seems way too much power. i’d have to control myself to not shoot at close range deer ---

I think I might need to get me one of those. All .25 are all pretty good compromises between bullet weight, profile selection and speed. Excellent for light game like deer, antelope, etc. and it’s small and fast enough to double as a varmint round if you can extract the accuracy. The only bad thing about the faster rounds in .25 or .30 is the throat erosion problems that crop up from running them so hot. Other than that, they’re awesome. ---

Did a little research a couple months back on my .300 on loads and what not I could load a the way down to a 90 grain vmax bullet and not worry about tumbling bullets, but that would push the velocity to 4000 fps and thats cruisin…and back when I had my .30-06 i got bigger exit holes with it then Ive ever gotten with my .300 Ultra, idk maybe because the bullet moving slower and the bullet open up more idk now a days im not hunting for does either because of being in school and not having the time like I used to so I don’t plan on shooting any small deer with the .300, Ive always heard things about the .300 wby being a cannon and tearing deer up but Ive never had that happen with my 300 Ultra, I was shooting a 180 gr swift siroco before and i think the cloest i shoot a deer was like 200 yds and ive i think in the past 4 yrs ive shot 3 deer and ive only had one time i had an exit hole, that bullet opened up real nice. This year im shooting these new rounds called core lokt ultra bonded we’ll see how they work and to be honest recoil wise, i have my 300 in a Rem 700 BDL black synthetic stainless and it has the recoil pad from the factory and its not that bad, yea if your shooting it in the summer in a tshirt it fucks you up but in hunting season when you have atleast a layer or two on its not bad at all, i dont even have a ported barrel ---

i take it you dont handload that 300 ultra? cuz its more powerful than the weatherby in factory form handloading that 300 ultra will be great for deer loads…just lighten it up abit. thats what my one friend does. but i seen what his factory full power weatherby loads do to deer…and its not pretty. definately a waster. i’m tellin you, near softball size hole out the front of the chest when shot just in front of the rear leg on a quartering away angle. lol… it really is a powerful round. my platinum tipped 400 grain sabot slugs out my 12 guage did far less damage…but seems to kick alot more haha > Flat shooting is nice, but 100gr at 3700?
