For you .300 WM ( well, any 300 Mag is OK) elk shooters, which load do you "prefer" to use. I mean, what in your experience has given you personally that "warm fuzzy" feel when you get ready to take that shot? Cows, Bulls, all. I have only killed one cow with a "300 H&H equivalent", 30-06 Hornady LM 180 going 2910. It worked but I felt it was a bit fragile. I later went to the Barnes 180 XBT ( 20 yrs ago, come on, ha) over either R22 or H4831, no elk but many head of Plains Game, up close and out to 375 or a bit. I loaded the 200AB/Retumbo in a 300 RUM I gave my SIL, he killed a big cow a tad over 440yds. I am taking a 300WM/150 TTSX (along with my .270W/129LRX as backup) on an upcoming Fall cow elk hunt. But I see many more 300WMs than RUMS or Wbys. What do you guys like and why? :Stay healthy you Old Phartz too!
