The rifle is a rem 700 20 inch barrel 1-10 twist my 150gr load is going 2036 fps and im using hornady interbond bullets i just dont know how well these bullets will perform. Has anyone shot deer with a 150gr bullet and how well did the bullet perform or with 125gr Thanks

The 125gr sierra bullets are designed to come apart at high velocity. But when you push them to a relatively mild 2300-2400fps out of the 300 Whisper they expand great on game. I made a chest shot on an 8 point whitetail last year with this 125gr load in my 300Whisper. It left a nice 1.5 inch exit hole on the off side and the deer didn't run more than 20 feet before dropping. This was a 140 yard shot as per my rangefinder.
I have not shot the 150s and don't intend to after seeing the results of the 125 sierra bullets. The 125s are plenty accurate in my gun too.
