First, let me address "head shots on deer". No way. Don't even think of it. You'll end up shooting it's jaw or horns off and leaving it to a slow death. If you were lucky enough to kill it, that'd be one hell of a trophy for the wall. Folks would think your some kind of Steven King fanatic. That is if you can even hit it in the head at 300 yards. Shoot for the heart/lung area just behind the shoulder. At 300 yards the only bone to hit are the ribs. The bullet will punch through and make mush out of the lungs. The deer will go no more than 50 yards.
Some of the moly coats don't shoot as well as normal bullets out of various guns. Hornady, Remington, Winchester, Speer, Federal etc. have all been in business a long time and make good solid hunting ammo. Don't compromise on accuracy to get another 50 fps out of the barrel. An accurate, slower bullet is far superior to a faster inacruate bullet any day of the week. Buy what shoots well out of your gun. If your going to shoot out to 300 yards, you better be able to keep them within 1 - 1/4" at 100. That's ~ 4" at 300 yards. If you can't hit that far, get closer. Your hunting, not target shooting.
