Best 30 cal bullet for lrh

[Eagle eyes 17]

My Remington 700 M40 Long Range Rifle in a '300 Remington Ultra Magnum'
Has given me the opportunity to put together some really good Reloads :

.......... 300 R.U.M. ........
...... 200gr. E.L.D.-X .....
...... 93gr. - Retumbo ...
- 3,150fps. - .626 B.C. -

Great load for Long Range Accuracy and Energy/ft.lbs.

Better double check that BC.

I took the Ballistics info. right from

Better go to Hornady's website and look at the revised CURRENT BC. !

Maybe Hornady needs to post that information consistent with their Reloading Manual since that's what we go to for our Reloading Data.

Ultimately your ACTUAL real world BC is what counts.

Yep. Varies from one rifle to the next.

For long range hunting what do you think is the best all around 30cal bullet on the market for 300 Win Mags and larger cased 30 caliber chamberings. I know "what's best" is subjective but let's give it a go in regards to long range hunting.

I've been stacking bulls and bucks with ELDM's in 6.5 and 7mm.
I'm pumped to send some 225's down range with my 300 NM, I'm sure it'll be even more of a good thing!
And unlike Berger, Hornady actually keeps production up with demand.

I have loved the 225 eldm in my win mag for a bit now. Brought down a big 6x6 bull last year at 830 yards with one bullet. Destroyed its insides!

Has anyone used the 200.20X Berger's? Have some coming in and will load them in my 300roy soon, just wondering if anyone has hunted with them any. I would like to push them 3050ish+ don't know if I will get much more, not going to be dumb but kinda want to see what I can get safely in my 26" tube.

This will be my first time reloading so, will do a work up ladder for accuracy and go from there. But ideally would like to be over 3k FPS at muzzle. Or am I being nieve

I have and they are I nice rund will try some again but as far as Ft LBs they lose out to the 215 hybird at long range 850 yards and out for big game like moose and bears

Atm will be just punching paper to 800yds, and will see how I do and will determine my kill range...but I know it won't me more then that!. And for the near future will be killing white tails!
