Thanks for the advice guys... It looks like I should stick to the .300 and hit the range. The big problem is that in South Florida, where I live, the longest rifle range we have is 100 yards. The nearest 300 Yd range is 250 miles away.

Hi all... I am new to this nice forum, and new to hunting Coues deer. I have been hunting whitetail, bears, elk, and sheep for about 12 years now, but have never hunted Coues deer. A friend from Arizona has invited me to join him this January for a Coues deer hunt in Mexico. I would like some advice on which of my rifles to take. I have a Kimber .300 WSM which I feel comfortable with out to about 200 yards, I have a Howa Varminter .22-250 which I have used out to 350. Finally, I have a Browning 7mm Rem Mag with Boss and 26" Barrel, which I am comfortable to about 250-300 yds.(It weighs 10 1/2 pounds with scope) Which rifle should I take? My friend says that shots out to 400-500 yards are possible and common! (He shoots a .257 Weatherby) I am afraid the .22-250 may be too light, the .300 would not give me enough shooting distance, and the 7 Mag is too big & heavy?!? Any advice would be appreciated, as I dont know my A** from my elbow when it comes to Coues deer! Thanks.
