Another thread on this site has me wondering about bullet choice for my 303. I have a draw for deer in 8-08 this fall. Haven't shot anything but paper and plywood with this rifle so far. Only animals I have shot have been grouse, so a whole new learning curve! I have purchased some 180 grain Winchester (don't know what kind, Crappy tire) and some Federal (again crappy tire), I also have some (180, 200?) that my father in law gave me, he had used for moose.
Is that to much bullet for a deer? Will it open up enough? Should I pick up some 165s? One person has suggested to find one bullet I like and use it for everything I am likely to hunt. Another suggests using different grains... Enough to get a guys head spinning....
And I have to get out to the range to get my new (to me) scope sighted in..
Thanks for the advice.
James
