300 ammo question
I went to the range with a few different rounds today:
1. Hornaday Black 110 grain
2. Winchester Deer Season 150 grain
3. Remington OTFB 120 grain.
I used the remington to get the scope on paper at 25 and 100 yards. It grouped very well. I realize it is probably not ideal for deer but maybe ok for SHTF purposes.
The Hornaday is zeroed at 100 and I am satisfied that any deer I shoot with this will be hit where I aim, or at least within 1.5 to 2 inches of POA.
The Winchester is 3 inches low and 1.5 inches to the right, but clustered right on top of itself-abzout an inch.
Now, I know that the internet breeds snipers everyday. I a not one of them. The question that I have is this:
Hornaday has established a record with this round-it works. Winchester makes the clearly more accurate round. Does Winchester 300 Blackout Deer Season have a track record of success yet? I would prefer the most lethal round (of the choices) for deer hunting in upstate NY. I know both are hunting accurate but I'm gonna obsess o er giving myself the best chance of a clean kill.
Any real world experience would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
