[QUOTE="EastTNHunter, post: 5635317, member: 8364"] Back when I was looking for a deer hunting cartridge for an AR I landed on 6.5G and 6.8SPC. They are VERY similar to any sane hunting distances. I went with the 6.5G because I could find it and components at the time. No regrets. BUT … I was looking for something for me AND my kids. 450 BM or 458 SOCOM didn’t fit the bill for the recoil for them. Either would work fine for 150yd and in for an adult, in addition to the others mentioned above. I still really like the 6.5G if I was forced to make a decision. The 300BO is cool IF you want to make your own brass if it is antiquated (doubtful for any cartridges mentioned except for possibly the SOCOM), AND if you want to go subsonic. I think that the 300 Hammr is built better for supersonic/full house loads due to larger case capacity, but not sure if it has staying power or not not. There are just better options for hunting than 300BO in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
