best ????
i am new to this forum and found and joined it because i was looking for info on the .25/300wsm (all hail hi ball) but after reading 10 pages of this bull i decided i should cut in and TELL yall about the perfect deer rifle now i started hunting with a 30/30 and killed a few deer with it then i was given a 303 brit and the first time i pulled the trigger on a deer with it i was in total awe (i was 13) it took that deer of its feet and i mean slamed it to the ground couldnt have hit it harder with a truck later my dad had a .243 built for me and had to give me a crash course on balistics because i kept shooting over every thing go figure i didnt have to hold high like with my 22lr or 30/30 or 303 when shooting at any thing that was far away (anything over 100 yds at that time) you know that .243 handloaded with a 100gr seirra accounted for a few deer after i began understanding this fantastic new concept ballistics boy was i hooked i started reading everything i could find on the stuff then i would go to school and amaze my buddies with this stuff heck i was balistics specialist in the making that was about the time i found out who jack was and about the .270 win i had to have one so i did my chores saved up half and with some help from good old dad (who shoots a 25-06 115 gr nos par) bought one i was ready for anything with those nifty store bought 130's i was on my way to makeing myself a nusiance to all my uncles and my dad because just about every deer i shot i had to have help to find why? because there was no blood no exit wound but how could this be i read the books studied the balistics but my holy .270 win didnt kill as good as i had read why? well in later years i discovered through trial eror and handloading that balistic dont mean doodly squat if you dont couple them with the right bullet so what is the greatest deer rifle well in my opinion theres not a perfect caliber out there they are all good or great within their limits but what i have come to look for in any of the calibers that i now hunt with is the combination of an accurate load which leaves an exit wound and does minimal damage to edible flesh but optimal damage to organs in my .243 its 100gr seirra gk at 3100 in my .270 its 140 gr accubond bt at 2950 in my .300 win mag its 165gr seirra gk at 3150 is one any better on deer than the other not in my hummble opinion they are all accurate they dont ruin to much meat and all leave an exit wound 95% of the time the other 5% they run in to too much bone but when that happens i usually dosent matter because all of that bullets energy is expended and it nocks them in the dust so after wading thru all this bull whats the best .....the one that lets you walk right up to that deer with minimal effort on the way... wether its a 220 or a 338 or my next project .25/300wsm (which id like to have more input on) use the right combination of caliber and load and you will have a "perfect" deer rifle
long live the bull !!!
