Where do you guys hunt where your shots are being taken at 70 yards?!? I see deer at 400+!

Why do the loudest do the least?
Same as what .46 caliber said. I'm in MI and most deer are taken here within 100yds. The woods and brush is pretty dense. Unless you are hunting in a large crop field that is clear enough for 100+ yard shot. Not saying that people here do not hunt deer at long distance, it's just the majority is less than 100yds.

I killed got 3 deer with my AR this season. .223 federal 64 grain soft points. None walked more that 20 yards after being hit. Shot placement was in the chest cavity. The soft point evicerated the heart lungs on impact. I was pleased with the rounds performance. 2 kills were within 50 yards and one was 150 yards. Just an FYI.
Bumping this thread. Obviously deer hunting isn't for a while but I'd like to start developing loads now.
I have a choice between a 20" 308 and a 20" 5.56. Both have Krieger barrels and both are stupid accurate.
I like the 5.56 because it drops way less. With a 200 yard zero the 5.56 drops 8" at 300 yards, but the 308 drops 15". I suppose I could get a LRF and eliminate this issue, but how effective would 5.56 be at 300 yards and what bullet would get it done at that distance on <200lb bucks?
