Until I get a bit more brass for reloading I use Federal Power-Shok 150 grain soft points right out of the box. Not what you were looking for as an answer but maybe a little helpful anyway.

Stay away from Federal brass. It sucks, to put it mildly.

Guys, a 125 gr. bullet kills deer just as dead as any other round.
The light recoil is nice too.
All I've ever needed, it's really all about shot placement. The biggest baddest round in the world still wounds if the shot is poor. |

At over $3.00 a gallon for gas, I want it leaded, 100 octane, and my windshield washed!

I find that 30.06 seems to do too much damage to the deer.(@ least @ the distances I'm shooting)
.303 in 150 gr has ALWAYS done well by me(for that matter-well placed has yielded quite a few parteidge,as well) The 180 gr seems to hit moose with all the "UMPH" req'd..even tho its usually longer distance than deer. But like I said before -I use factory loads out of the box till now.(If I ever get thru this day-vorce thing,I'll commence to loadin my own.) I wonder what grain I should use on those pesky,treetop huggin C-130's that buzz my place Hoadie |

Hi,what brand 125g bullet do you use?from my reading they are.310s for the 7.62x39.But they are in my reload book at about 3000fps,so they would be good if accurate.

.303 vs. Deer?
Depends. If the deer have French rifles, you should be OK. If they've got Mausers, then you might have a problem.

Hoadie it is all about bullet placement. I use a custom hand load 150 gr federal ballistic tip. A shot into the chest cavity taking out the lungs and heart avoiding the shoulders results in minimal usable meat damage.
The .303 only being slightly ballisticly inferior to the 30-06 there will be damage of usable meat as well if the shot is not well placed.

Also on the 303/3006 comparo.I get 2800fps with 150 grainers and 2600fps with the180s
with handloading with acc2520 out of my 25in barrel.Of course i loose about 200fps with my 18.5 jungle carbine but still more than adiquit.So only 100fps less then the great 3006.not bad in my book.and no critter would notice the differance anyway lol
