Most of the deer shots around here are within 100 yards as it's pretty heavily forested. I want to play with longer shots eventually, the range I go to is 300 yards and I know a few places where I can go longer if needed. Not confident enough to shoot an animal at that range yet but m definitely going to practice.
I'm planning to start with 140 grain, though I did order a box of 120 also to see how it behaves. I don't hand load yet, but I've been toying with the idea and saving brass from my AR in case I decide to take the plunge. Winters get long here so I have time to tinker, and my boss is big time into reloading so I have someone experienced to work with.
