And shooting hares at 300 is no measure of a rifles ability. If you don't have that capability, you need more proper practice. Shooting half grown rabbits at 300 is a challenge. Shooting deer in the head at 250 neither; in fact, that's just questionable ethics, in my opinion. One flick of the head, one miniscule movement and you've got a deer with a missing jaw or nose, dead, eventually, and in agony.
