Chuck Yeager says it is the best. He’s dead. You should say, “Chuck Yeager said it is the best.” In a few situations it might be, but in most I’d argue it’s not.

Now the choices begin. 180 or 200? Accubond or TTSX?

If you're stretching it out some, it's a helluva good combo. Absolutely. Wicked stomper for sure - IF - the shooter can place the shot. I think my 300 Wby has more 1 shot drops than my 270 Win. I shoot 180gr, 200gr NP & 200gr Speer - all results have been similar. I’ve also (sadly) shanked a few animals that are just as bad off as if shot with a 22 Hornet so I’d recommend to the OP - call ur shot or don’t make the shot.

I was just told I comment on stuff I shouldn’t… 😂😂 But I’ve killed bulls with the 300 Wby, and cheap Hornadys, at spitting distance… damn my questionable huntin skeelz… 😂😂
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

Great picture buddy. Nice bull too.
Those old Hornadys work well, can't argue with them.

IMO, the "best" is the one you're holding, getting you picture taken with a dead elk...

VX1 and talleys on a ULW.. 😘 The “lecture “ came from someone, who as far as I could tell, has killed (2) bulls… 😂😂 Thanks though pard, I draw a bull tag, we’re gonna wrestle!!! Haha 🤣

.300 Weatherby and a 168 gr TTSX smoking right along at 3,300 FPS MV is the bees knees for big critters out as far as you can hit ‘em. Next step: backstraps on the grill.
