I can't remember if that's 180grn or 165grn , but I believe it's the 165 (Trophy Bonded Game King is the bullet I'm throwing). As I said I'm not one to take lots of long/high risk shots . Just about everything's going to be at 200 or less . So I sight in 2" high at 100yrd , so anything between 100-200 in the sweet spot .
Do you have a good source for ballistics tables. I'm curious as to how 30-06 bullet drop compares to a .308.

A little small I think... A fast bullet but tends to break up and shatter to early.
For deer a 7 mm Magnum is what I use, extremly fast shell, GREAT knock down power , very flat trajectory, 300 yards easy.

Is .223 to small for deer out to 100yards? I figure its acceptable as long as you have a clean, well placed shot and use appropriate ammo. I was think of using som Hornady TAP ammo.
Any one out there in Wisconsin? I had heard this story on the news,
with cat lovers portesting the open season on these critters, just curious.

Seriously , my old teacher used to hand load his own 300 win's . He loved it . What grain / type bullet are you using for what game ?
PS - Where in Wyo are you ? I'm in NE Col , actually closer to Chey town than Denver .
