.358 Winchester or .325 WSM for me deer don't take a step after getting hit with either one in my experience. I have taken two mule deer bucks at over 300 yards with the .325 using winchester 220grn power points and a leupold 2.5-8x36 and had surprisingly very little hold over.

Just a touch over 7" for me using 200 grain Accubonds.
I am sighted a little high at 100 so it is around 10" at 300 doesn't feel like much when using the back bone to brisket ranger in the scope  :tup:

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.
