If you’ve got the twist to spin them and the magazine to hold them I really like the 212 eld-x from my 300 wm

I see. Of course, where my 300 Win is twisted 1:11 I guess I better stick with the 200gr Noslers...poor me. 😃

I'm working on loads for a buddy for his .300 win mag for shots on deer out to about 600 yards. What are peoples thoughts on the best bullet for this scenario. I'm hearing mixed reviews on the 30 cal ELD-X but I love the way they shoot on paper. I'm also a big Barnes guy at heart but would like to hear some real world experience with hunting bullets at some extended range. If your rifle will shoot it, the 200 gr Accubond wont leave you lacking.

A 1-12" will spin a 212 in 300wm Most 30's with case capacity at or above 30-06 are 1/10", and they will shoot it all. I'm a fan of the 230 Berger.

200gr Acubond is a really good hunting bullet. Plenty slippery too with a BC of 0.588... This is very true. My buddy uses this and it worked on Coues in Mexico at 900 and elk at 600 multiple times. They shot a bull Friday with it and said it is a hammer. Would I use it for 1000 shooting? Probably not. You are giving up too much wind to other bullets at this range.

I use the 215 target hybrid from my 300 wsm at 2800 fps muzzle velocity. I've killed an antelope at 550, a 4x4 mule deer at around 200 and last week a shot a 5 point bull elk at about 200. All 1 shot kills, nice exits on the antelope and deer but no exit on the elk.
