So many good 30 cals in 180 gr range for a WSM. I'd suggest any of the Noslers (Partition, Ballistic Tip, Accubond), particularly if you plan on hunting big animals. Sciroccos are good bullets as well at WSM speeds, if you want to hunt big stuff. Or if you're looking just to shoot 180's at paper, try some cheaper flat-base bullets like Interlock, Prohunter, or Hot Core.

I'm surprised no one has suggested a quick trip to the SPS website. Pick the 180 that sounds cool to you, do the same with the 4350, and load up some ammo. Maybe hold off on the range day until it's a bit warmer, though. Well that's just a given. Most here know that by now. It doesn't even need to be suggested anymore.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I've always used 180gr Hornady Spire Points behind 58gr H4350 F219 primers out of my Browning Safari. Sub MOA and always works.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

I shot my biggest buck with a 180gr. Hornady RN in .308 over a moderate charge of IMR 4895.

I also use 58 grs of H4350 but with the 180 Accubond and WLR mag primers for velocities that pretty much match factory advertised velocities. It’s worked great on elk from 25 yards to 475 yards.
