So, the question for those with experience is what bullet would you recommend for a 300WM with 24" 1:10 twist?

I have 185 and 210 Bergers hybrids on hand, as well as 175 and 190 SMK's.

Advice appreciated.

Thanks.


Elk are harder to find, than to kill.

Lots of bullets in the 180-200 range are going to work.. Bergers, barnes, noslers.. Get a load working, check your equipment, start practicing and getting in shape.
