RE: School me on ammo
You'll have to test out a bunch. I think the Nosler Partitions are about the best all around hunting bullet but my buddy thinks they stink because he lost a deer with them. You'll get a different opinion from anyone you talk to.
These days I think the standard cheapo Winchester power point is just fine for deer. I had to buy a box in a pinch this year and it work flawlessly even with a terrible shot.
