Using HPR you still will get the "crack" but it reduced...M4 doesn't make his .308 sound like a .22
I'm well aware and mentioned that upthread.

Yup people claiming to shoot sub MOA...I put in the same category as guys that claim to shoot robin hoods all the time too with their bows....happens sure, consistently...give me a break. Unless you are one of the few, which you instantly can tell these guys.

Honestly, a 1" group at 100 aint diddly.
Not good enough for a chuck rig IMHO.
Kill zone of whitetail is large enough so that + or - six inches will put meat on the table.Yup, and when deer hunters start breaking out the HPR's to deer hunt this fall and want to take 300 plus yard shots , I hope no one is thinking 2 MOA is good to go....6 inches of play leaves no room for shooter error.
To be fair fellas, my exposure to most rifle guys is at the local range, which second some folks walk into a range they blow smoke 75% hotter than before entering...so there is that. And I guess I see how some of them shoot their pistols and assume they are as efficient with their rifles...when in fact a bench rested rifle in my opinion should easily shoot 1 inch groups...it is the fellas saying they are free standing and shooting such groups...called their bluff many a time out on the range.
I know fellas out there that can though, some I swear could seriously shoot a "gnat off a cat's ***" if you gave them a chance...

1 1/2 to 3" groups should be good to go under field conditions.
Best to practice at longer ranges and use those cardboard type deer targets.
Broadside "boiler room" heart & lung-shot on a deer is a large.
YMMV but don't stay home because you can't shoot 1" groups.

Of the 5 cartridges the .243 and 30-30 both have less practical range for deer.
They will be excellent for some. Most will handicap themselves using them.
Outfitters and hunters of antelope, which are smaller than most IN deer
recommend .270 as min. because of shot distance and wind out west.
The 30-06, 308 and 300s will offer better results and satisfaction for most.
I have taken six antelope and one mule deer in MT,
all with a 270 Win (30-06 necked down to .270 Win) and never felt under-gunned.
Any of the 5 cartridges will work well in Indiana, but why handicap yourself.
YMMV
Had to? Please elaborate? Even if Booner steps out, this is the most improper way of thinking ever. I suspect you were tongue in cheeking this part but incase others read this, YOU NEVER JUST GUESS on a shot...
BTW, just don't be one of those guys that says-
I can't shoot paper but I do fine shootin fur.
Problem is finding a range to practice @ 200 yards
or even 100 is tough. But deer deserve to be
cleanly harvested with these new tools.
