Put it back up please, I'm intrigued.
What's wrong with shooting a Muntjac with a .300 Win Mag? My aim, as an ethical hunter, is to achieve a quick and humane kill. The .300 WM is capable of doing that, so what's the issue?

Cheers Arron.i have a 25 06 ,and a 30 06 , shot all british deer with both callibers , but since going on soft nosed as opposed to hornady SST's in the 30 , i have hit an odd one which has needed following up , hit in the right area but lack of expansion on the smaller deer is my theory ,so back to sst's for me ! hope this is an answer to your post , atb arron.
I've shot muntjac with .375h&h and it died as per the instructions...... Only excessive meat damage was due to the round clipping a branch a foot in front of the deer which sent a shard of jacket into the guts, but the larger calibres tend not to expand as fully even on the largest of our deer, and do less meat damage than the .308 I normally use. Ok you could argue that if they aren't expanding properly then they aren't performing as intended, but try telling that to the dead deer, not had a runner yet......
