I've heard the 200 gr. accubonds are popular. What of the wildcats? Is there a point of diminishing returns for the 300rum cartridge?

If you shoot far enough, I don't think you'll get to a point of diminishing returns until over 240 grains, but maybe a little less with some bullet designs that make them longer for their weight.
I've been hunting with the 200 AccuBonds lately and I like them a lot...but the 240 SMK is definately easier to hit with once you get way out there. Hopefully I'll be trying some 240's from Richard this year (if his jackets ever come in /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif ) in an attempt to dethrone the 200 AB as my go-to bullet.
We'll see.
But yeah, forget about the light bullets unless you aren't shooting very far. They simply aren't the best tool for the job.
