Thanks for all the feedback. I think I'm going to go with the 180gr barnes and see if I can get them to group in my rifle.
I've head some reports of legs being blown off deer. I've never seen it, nor anything close to it. What type of weapons are we talking here?
I also hunt with the 300WM. There are no whitetails anywhere, ,much less Oklahoma, that require a magnum round. but as has been previously state the flat trajectory makes long shots easier to make.
I shoot a Rem700 using SMK 180's using an H4350 load and it's a tack driver. 5 shots, all touching at 200 yards. no problem. I dont download the rounds as the rifle's accuracy drops off quickly below 60 grs. Maybe I need to revisit that.

Wait, am I understanding this or is someone changing loads to save rib meat? I didn't know someone ate rib meat of a deer..lol
On larger deer there is some meat on the ribs but I'm not trying to save it. The round I used went just behind the shoulder in the ribs and still managed to trash a good portion of both shoulders.
