I have had a Remington 750 woodsmaster .308 in stock for a while and decided to keep it for myself.
So I am going to set it up for deer hunting and was wondering what would be a good ammo to use.
What kind,grain would do the job.
I like Hornady ammo(I use it in ALL of my guns except .22)I'm thinking the SST tips but I am not sure.
I never hunted with a rifle for deer(except my .50) I used my dads 30-06 when I was a kid and just used what he gave me and he told me not to shoot at deer under 30 yards unless I head shot it.But never got a shot.
So what I am looking for is a round that I can use up close(sometimes 10 yards+-)and still be able to shoot out to 200 yards with knock down power and max. expansion at all yardage.
Is this possible?
I have allot of time to get it right and wait for the ammo to start to come back in.
I do not reload(but I think I know someone that might do it for me) but would hand loads be the way to go?
Thanks for your help.
