Haven't been hunting long but here's how it is currently.
Depends where I am. If it's thick woods, I grab my condor airgun. It's good out to 50-60 yards on a bad day. 80 fpe with a solid pellet that just destroys skull. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
If I'm in a field, looking for long range shooting. I grab my 300 remington ultra magnum topped with a nice 6-24x50 scope. 180g bullet at 3330 fps. That's about 4433fpe. That will drop just about anything in most of the world. It's my go to gun no matter what I'm after. Kicks like a mule, but once you get past that, it's a great gun. I can shoot 1 moa with it, so it's a good gun. Overpowered for a coyote, yep, but it gets the job done.
Ammo prices suck though. 60-70 bucks for 20 shells. Ouch.

No worse than a 30-06? You need to check your 30-06 for steroids then. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
If you still have some of the same stuff you shot, go look at it. Remington makes these rifle shells like the 12ga shotgun shells are made. You have 3 power levels. 1-3, 1 being lowest. Level one is like a 30-06, 2 is like a 300 winchester, and 3 is the actual 300 rum. So, what you were shooting may not have been any more powerful than a 30-06. But I know from shooting my grandads 30-06, and my 300 rum, they don't even compare. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Here's remington's article about it.

The level 1 stuff is also cheaper. $30 a box vs $60-70 for the level 3.

84 grains is slightly low, a lot of them are loaded with 90-100. But, those recoil pads are amazing. I have one as well and it definately cuts down on it a good bit. I stuck the stock one on there, just to see how it worked, and I thought I had broken my shoulder. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif I haven't used it since.
