GRAPHIC Why you don't hunt whitetails with a .300RUM

It probably doesn't help that the little deer probably weighs around 70 pounds. Looks like some kind of ballistic tip too. I prefer bonded bullets for deer personally.

180gr Remington Core Loct on this one. Not sure of the size of the one in the pic, but I would guess the doe I shot would have gone about 125# before her guts fell out, and a 180gr Remington factory loaded Sirocco bonded did the same thing at 250+ yards. When a bullet hits bone, even a little rib, going that fast it turns everything to shrapnel. The hydrastatic shock of a bullet traveling that fast turns the liquid inside into a shock wave that does absolutely incredible damage. There's a lot of internet talk but this is the no BS reality of the .300RUM I am certainly no advocate of outlawing anything. Just using the right cartridge for the right job. Remington has had so many complaints of this type of damage that the .300RUM ammo now comes in 3 different power levels, The whole point of the original postin of such graphic carnage was to separate the truth from internet BS and to help wake up those that don't know to what a couple of hundred more FPS can do. Lots of folks thinking is misconstrued taking those couple of hundred FPS for granted and not understanding the physics behind it.
