I've never used a 300 mag on deer, but know several people who do. Heck my uncle uses and shoots a lot of nice buck with his .340 He says he likes the knockdown power.

how big is it compared to a 30-06 or .270..is it smaller or bigger..and i don't think its bigger than a 7mm and a 7mm isn't to big for deer..just hit them right and you won't waste any meat, you can lose alot of meat from an arrow shot deer aswell so its all in the shot placement.

To all who replied, a big thank you!!!! I was a little hesitant at first but your help has confirmed my decision. I ordered a the Leupold LPS today. I hope to get the scope on and the barrel conditioned in time to try it out on some pesky coyotes before it's too late in the year. I also am a big advocate of the double-lunger. I'm glad to hear the 300 Win Mag isn't too much for the that. Like many of you said, "it's all about shot placement." Thanks again, shoot straight and good luck.
