[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1046855, member: 14204"] +1 on the heaviest bullet recommendation. In 2013, my hunting buddy shot a bull elk just shy of 400 yards with HSM' s 180 Berger VLD in .300 Win Mag - DRT. With just a few minutes apart, I was also blessed with a bull elk. Shot him at 931 yards with 190 Berger VLD also .300 Win Mag, however, he managed to run ~200 yards before expiring. Three weeks earlier, my other hunting buddy, shot a bull elk using factory 180 Barnes TTSX in .300 Win Mag. It took 3 shots on vital area to finally drop him. IMHHO, all bullets used performed as advertised, but the elk expired differently. I will be loading 210s and 215s for my .300 WSM for this season. Good luck and happy safe shooting/hunting. [/QUOTE]
