[QUOTE="rootacres, post: 2072283, member: 116348"] I didn't read all of the other posts, Im sure there have been some great suggestions. I have some first hand experience with the 300 WM and witnessing what factory loads do on elk. The 180gr Barnes TTSX performed great, we recovered the bullet and it performed as designed on a 250 yd shot. I also watched the 185gr Berger Classic Hunters do their thing at 150 yds. The elk was shot twice and only pieces of the bullets were found. The TTSX are always a sound choice for elk. I had a 300 WSM shooting 180gr accubond reloads at 2950. That bullet has a sound design behind it. I killed my bull this year at 325yds using a 168gr Berger Classic Hunter (7mm). After seeing the weight retention of the Bergers Id say for game smaller than elk I would use them in a heartbeat. For elk size game and larger Id go with a bonded bullet or mono. Thats not to say Bergers won't work. Just in the event you have a closer shot, I think the high impact velocity can cause the bullet to basically explode on impact. A Partition is never a bad choice either. 180gr TTSX 300 WM [MEDIA=youtube]qak7vqy6VSA:5[/MEDIA] 185gr Berger Classic Hunter [MEDIA=youtube]dTRFxeeIxUA:292[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
