I was talking about the .308 win. Is there a better load than my 2 choices? I just like the knockdown power of the .300 win but want the least amount of bullet drop. Tnaks guys for all the replies!!!
Based on your initial question about .308 and .300WM, and which has more power and is flatter shooting, I suspect that you don't have a lot of experience with rifles. Do you have any experience at all? What rifles do you currently own?
If you don't have any, or don't have much, experience, I'd really have a hard time recommending a Magnum for your purposes and I'd question your suggestion that you're planning on 300 yard + shots. Generally speaking magnums aren't a good choice for someone who doesn't have some shooting experience under his belt. Likewise for long shots. Those are for someone who has had a lot of experience/practice. And, practice is going to be a lot easier and a lot more fun with a .308 than with a .300 Win Mag. And, out to about 350 or 400 yards, a .308 is going to kill deer just as efficiently as a .300 WM.
