Default RE: good for deer?

ORIGINAL: kilotanker19

just bought a 300 wsm gonna load it with 130 grain vmax at 3505. for chucks jut curious if it would be sufficient for deer? thanks in advance
I've never been so lucky that i know in advance at what range a deer will come out. If i sit where i may see one at 200 yards, then i'll end up seeing one closer, when i'm walking/stalking into my spot!

Sooo, i always carry a gun/load to cover all bases, and in that case, that means loading your rifle with something heavier than 130 grain bullets.

If i was carrying your rifle, it would be loaded with 165's and certainly nothing lighter than 150's
