Barnes Vortx is the pill u seek for seek for deer. They are tipped with black plastic. They are going to stop a deer very well. They are what I recommend regardless of barrel length. /thread.
My favorite .300 AAC load is a .243 Winchester.
Just messin with ya,

The regs are confusing is .300 blk ok on public land or private only?
Which AR platform do ya use?

In a pistol it's GTG in all place unless they don't allow pistols (IE, deer reduction hunt at Crane was muzzleloader & shotgun only when they still did that). However, the HP rifle law that allows 300 BLK rifles is only applicable to private property.
Yeah, before the HPR law it was confusing to try to explain to people the nuances of deer hunting in Indiana... Prior to the HPR law you could use a pistol if it was chamber in a pistol or rifle cartridge (anything that met the minimum caliber of .243), but could only use a rifle if it was chambered in a pistol cartridge. SBRs count as "handguns" in Indiana, so some were "bypassing" this by registering a short-barrelled rifle and hunting with a legal rifle caliber in their "shoulder fired handgun". But the state caught on and disallowed that, so SBRs are handguns in Indiana EXCEPT when considering legal calibers for deer hunting.The government makes zero sense. There is no logic in that what so ever.. Also doesn't make sense that I can literally hunt coyotes just about anywhere with a .50BMG if I wanted to ..hopefully they re-visit this in the future.

I just re-sighted in my 300 blk for use on deer this year. New 10.5" bbl and vortex strikefire make a sweet shooting little rig. I had planned on using my 125 gn sst over h110, but ordered some 125 gn gmx that I think I will use instead. It is a monolithic bullet similar to the Barnes and should expand reliably at 300 blk velocities. And it was on sale at Midway for about .42 per pill...much cheaper than the Barnes. We'll see how it does I guess.
