There are a couple of things to keep in mind when using the ARC for hunting:
When using classic cup and core hunting bullets, one should focus on deer weighing less than 130 - 150lb and use proper hunting bullets weigh at least 85 grains.
The advent of monometal lead-free bullets has changed things a bit. Monometal hunting bullets weighing as little as 50 grains should work reliable on these lighter deer. Much like with the 243 Win, monometal bullets in the 75-90 gr class will give reasonably reliable results on deer weighing as much as 300 lb.
The heavier bullet weights available for the Grendel will work well on game weighing twice as much.
