why in the world do you need a 300 ultra in PA for??? deer arent big......bear arent to big.......chances of getting an elk tag arent so great.....unless you do alot of out of state hunting i dont think its really needed...just an expensive bullet and a painful one at that......if your just hunting deer sure its a fine round and will work but you really dont need all that for a PA deer...if i didnt love my mauser so much i would sell it for a smaller caliber..its only a 3006...at 50yds(typical PA shot assuming your in PA again...) its like hitting them with a brick...but if thats all you have it will work fine....i doubt it does much more than a 3006 does...going way to fast to open to its full potential....its a fine round.....
