Anyone shoot a .300 Win Mag for deer hunting?

I got one a while back (Savage Model 111) because I have several rifles in smaller calibers already. I took my first deer with it over the weekend and it wasn't as bad as i thought. I figured it would have done a lot more damage. I shot a doe at about 70 yards with 180 grain winchester soft point ammo and it made a good thru and thru pass without tearing a bunch of meat up.
Anyone else use one? If so, what grain ammo do you shoot?

I use a .300wsm and use 150 grain Barnes TTSX. Within 100 yards, if I don't shoot bone, it goes through and through.

I shoot a 300 WSM 165gr and have shot several deer. I don't find it tears up deer anymore than any other 30 caliber. I hunt a pipeline and have dropped bucks at 300+ yards. That is why I shoot the 300 is to give me the larger grain bullet and not lose energy/speed.

i've used one before w/o any trouble. blew through a 210# 7 pt at just under 200 yds. deer wobbled off 10 yds and dropped.
one of my relatives hunts with a 300 weatherby mag without any problems.

I shoot a 300 WM. Use 165grn Barnes TTSX. Used to shoot 150grn Federal Trophy Bonded Bear Claw until they quit making them a few years ago. Never had an issue.

I have an uncle and cousin that both shoot 300 Win Mags. Not sure what ammo they use, but they've combined to kill hundreds of deer with them. Both shoot Browning BARs and have been since the 1980's.
