This is my first coues hunt. I drew a Dec. Hunt in 35B. I have appreciated the advice on the area, now I have another question.
Question:
What rifle and load do you use? How long is the average shot (by your experience)?
Background:
I have heard about some taking shots upwards of 400 yards, but most are closer to 200 yards. I plan on hunting with .270 110gr HP, haven't settled on a powder yet, but most likely will use IMR 4831, Varget, R19, or XMR 4350. This will be my obsession for the next month or so.
I do have a .300 Win Mag, and I know that some use this for those long shots, but it just seems like to much for those tiny deer.
Thoughts?... And no, I am not in the market to purchase a different rifle... in case anyone asks
