I don't see why the 300g Gold Dot wouldn't be a fine choice for an accurate hunting bullet. I've shot paper with it in my Accura, and it worked just fine. This past season i killed a few deer with the 270g Gold Dot, and it really put the hurt on them. None moved from the spot they were standing when hit. I am still kinda puzzled about the way the bullet dropped deer that were lung shot. Most of the deer i have lung shot in past years with a center fire rifle, or 44 revolver, or muzzle loader rifle, have run quite a long ways. Just don't understand why the ones hit this year with the Gold Dot dropped right there.
