If I were getting those results I would definitely go tothe heavier bullet, Just make sure you keep your accuracy with the 300 grainer.To me a blood trail is insurance. That is why I really like full sized conicals. If you haven't tried full sized flat nosed conicals they are very effective. The .460 gr. bullet I use punches through the deer as if it were a cardboard target. I've only shot two deerwith that bullet, but bothshots left an easy 40's yard red trail to a dead deer. One was a double rib behind the shoulder shot, and the other took out the shoulder on the opposite side.
