well my 6.5 grendel is pretty much amazing with deer and could outperform the 300 BLK any day of the week and twice on sunday...

...mad yet?...

... good, now I can give you some theoretical advice since I don't actually own a BLK. the 300 BLK has almost identical ballistics to the 7.62x39mm... go over to the hunting forums at SKS boards and you will see page after page of dead deer and hogs taken by 7.62x39. the 300 BLK is limited in ammunition choices because most makers make heavy subsonic ammo rather than lighter hunting ammo loaded to supersonic speeds. if you load it yourself, the BLK can perform very well as a deer rifle though 200 yards may be pushing it unless you shoot enough to have a very good understanding of your trajectory.
