[QUOTE="ZombieHitman, post: 442924, member: 28260"] I have the Savage 16 weathermaster in 300WSM. It likes Nosler and Combined Technology 168 grain Ballistic tips, pushed by 60.1 grains of H380, lit by Remington Large Rifle Magnum primers. I have tried the 180's, I've tried the 150's. For my application, I'm getting right in the ballpark of 3050 FPS, right at the edge of the "sweet spot". I have yet to have a deer not be DRT (Dead Right There) or take a step beyond where I shot them. Those bullets seem to cause catastrophic damage internally, don't blow out the backside of the animal (except coyotes), and I'm extremely happy with them. The CT's need a little fouling before they really start shooting well, so I usually take 3-5 foulers at the start of the season, and clean it after the season's over. Not exactly ideal, but it works for me. [/QUOTE]
