I bought a new 300 win mag made by savage a couple years ago for bear hunting but never made it out bear hunting. Its seen like 20 shots in it just for practice and making sure it was still sighted in. That thing kicks like a mule and you cant shoot it more then 5 times cause your shoulder turns black & blue. All the bullets i have come across for this gun are ballistic tip also. I buy them at gun shows cause they are much cheaper then local retailers. Does it turn alot of the deer where the bullet passes threw to jelly? My friend has a 7mm mag and i have seen deer hes shot with it and i hate to waiste deer meat and that thing does to much damage to the deer. If i hit the deer in a bad spot or even a good spot will it do the same to the deer as his 7mm mag? Is this gun overkill for deer hunting?
