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.


Advice......

1. Huck them target bullets and get either 180 or 200 grain partition or accubond bullets. That horse hauky about accubonds exploding is just that, horse hauky. Carry on with Working up a load to your liking with ether said bullet.

2.Find a legal wapiti to shoost at.

3. Hope legal wapiti is not @597 yards on the last half hour of light on the last possible day of hunt

4.Once wapiti is found, Place bullet into and or threw vitals or destroy major structure bone ie: hips, shoulders, spine, brain pan.
