jmg343 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Federal "Mossy Oak" Deer Thug ammo. .300 win mag. 180 grain. It's what they had at Wal-Mart. I'd like some of that fancy(expensive) ammo with the cute little neon green tips, but I can't find it anywhere around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptown Redneck Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Whatever I have on hand that was brought on sale during the summer. I don't buy into the "premium" ammo thing. Game has been taken for 100's of years with whatever hunters had on hand at the time. It's all about hitting your target, not the ultra-expensive bullet you're shooting.

Caveman Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Barnes Vor-Tx TTSX 150 gr .308. I made the switch to copper solids to keep as much lead out of our food as possible. I've seen two deer shot with them so far and both dropped in their tracks. I don't think there is any compromise in performance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freytown Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 .257 Roberts w/120gr Nosler partition (41gr IMR 4350). Sweet lil caliber but more than enough for deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I usually use Barnes but got a good deal on Federal Trophy Copper. 130 grains in the .270. Bravo to all you lead-free guys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit it's for selfish reasons on my part. My wife and I will be having kids in the next few years, and the science is pretty clear on lead's effects on cognitive development. These kids are already starting life with half my genes. Why handicap them further? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landtracdeerhunter Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Shot the Brenneke KO, 12 ga, 3 inch sabots for years, but had to make a switch to Lightfields, this year due to availability issues. Those Brenneke's would knock a deer right off its feet. Midway use to carry them. The Lightfields sighted in rather well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
