[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2258932, member: 109862"] As the title says, I’m going elk hunting this September and, just for fun, took a picture of every 30 cal projectile I currently have in my inventory that i could run. My existing 300 win mag load is with the 225 eld m so voting for that will signify leaving well enough alone. It is crazy accurate and I like it’s terminal performance BUT…. It is a single feed only proposition and I’m kind of thinking I’d like the option of fast follow up shots, elk being tough and me only having permission to be on a limited area of land on which to retrieve the critter. Nonetheless I know some will say one shot is all one should need…some of these projectiles I’m taking much more seriously than others but I’ve left nothing out of the poll just for fun and to see if you folks surprise me with what you’d choose. If you were elk hunting with a 300 win would you load up the 120 tacTX at warp, the 180 trophy bonded tip, the 195 tipped matchking, the 208 hornady bthp with the tip opened up just a tad, the 208 eld-m, the 210 accubond long range, the very retro 220 kksp round nose by the long defund CIL, the 225 eld m as a single feed only option (can’t seat them deeper without deformity of the nose, don’t currently have the special eld dies, or the cinder block of a bullet, the 250 grain round nose by hawk bullets? please, none of the usual “whatever shoots best” non-answers. Assuming all of these could be made to shoot well, what would you load up first? [/QUOTE]
