Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 300 win mag 180 vs. 200 and 220.gr?

I have been using 180 Sciroccos in my .300 Wby for elk, but when I acquired a .300 WSM a couple of years ago, I decided to try the 200 grain AccuBonds. At approximately 2,900 fps, they shoot well under an inch at 100 yds in my rifle and worked very well on the one elk that I have taken with them--a very large-bodied 6x6 bull. However, the 180 Sciroccos (at about 3,250 fps) killed two other big bulls just as dead, just as quickly. I imagine that Partitions would have worked just as well...
