[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 2859508, member: 73596"] I have very recent terminal performance test on 2 black bears with the 181s out of a 300 WSM, and they were devastating. I have since loaded the 165s for a friend in his 300 WSM, and they are crazy accurate, and ~3150 FPS, which means that they will perform as intended for quite a range of distances. If it were me, and with all of the research and proof of terminal performance, I would actually lean more toward lighter/faster. I know this is a departure from traditional thinking on larger game like elk, but you really need to take the time to understand how the bullet functions, terminally. Not to say that they weight doesn't matter, but it is less important, by far, than the velocity side of things. The maximum performance is achieved with extreme velocities, from a terminal perspective. DO NOT be afraid to go lighter/faster. My next load for my 300 WSM will be the 165s or lighter. Reach out in a PM for more details on this load, and I will share. [/QUOTE]
