My Optima loved the 300's as well with 110gr. I think it may be like the 250's and prefer the 100gr charge but i will know next time out.

We're finally getting deer in the back yard where my range is and i go take the ATV to put up a new target, deer are looking at me. Put up the target, turn around and head back up to the bench, deer are still looking at me. I load up, fire my 3 shots and walk down, deer are still in the same area looking at me!

Walk back up, fire 2 more shots for adjustment, walk down to check target, one deer is bedded down "storm coming in" and the other deer is grazing on some oak brush!

Not a care in the world that im shooting, driving the ATV and walking around 50 yards on the side of them!

I didn't care for the 300's recoil with the 110gr charge though. Im not a big fan of big bullets so if i can get them to shoot well in my brother in laws wolf with the 250's i might set him up with those.
