Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Favorite bullet for handloaded 300WM

Specifically for hunting medium-big game.

What does everyone shoot and like?

208 amax er eld-m

Since this is the long range forum, hands down for me the Berger 210grVLD has been the most accurate bullet in several 300WM's
they perform quite well on game at ranges of 400yds and beyond...........that said if you are not planning on shooting that far say 400yds and closer, I would suggest the 200gr Accubond

Hornady 165 gr btsp interlock with h4831 for over 20 years. Keeps my dads freezer full.

Pretty damned hard to beat the 180 gr Nosler Partition for all around use in the 300 win mag. MB

200 grain Accubond works for us. The 220 Scenar ain’t a bad bullet either if you need a little extra BC. The Federal 200 grain TA looks like a good bullet if you can get your hands on them.

Easy, 215 hybrids all around bullet.

For game up to about 500 pounds, the Nosler Partition or Accubond in the 165 grain weight is unbeatable. For elk and larger I like the same, but in 200 or 220 grain weights.

But there is nothing wrong with the 180 grain either for a one-size fits all in all the 300 mags.

Get the bullet out the other side in a fairly straight line and you have done all you can do with any 300 mag and any bullet.
The bullet is a tool to make the hole. It's the hole that kills, not the bullet.

200 gr Accubond, has always worked good for me

Been using 180 Partitions for a very long time and no complaints with them. Started loading Accubonds last year but haven't drawn blood with them yet, so can't comment on them except they are very accurate in my 300 mags...

165 Barnes is what I use, also in 300 Weatherby’s

180gr. Accubond or 165/168gr. TTSX loaded with RL22 kept my 300WM humming along for many years! Antelope to moose I never needed anything else!

Elk Country

what rifle??

I stated in my reply since this was the long range forum I gave the OP bullets for long range application, The 165gr Barnes TSX has a BC of .398 that is not in the realm of a long range bullet..........I shoot 22cals with a better BC than a barnes

200 grain partitions have worked great for the several 300 win mags that have been used by our family for many years. This is not the only caliber we use but the most often used, and this load has proven itself over and over again by performing well on a wide selection of game.

200 grain ELD-X over I believe 76 grains of H1000, CCI primer, 2900 fps. Single digit SD and ES. Shoots moa in my Remington Long Range and hits like a hammer. I don't hunt anything bigger than deer, but I have to believe it would be fairly effective on bigger stuff.

How about the Federal Trophy Bonded Tip? I read nothing but good things about them and they are available as a component.

I went light with the 150gr AccuBond out of my WinMag launched at 3320fps. They fly well and have performed flawlessly on a couple big bodied white tails.

200 eld-x, 215 Berger or the Berger 200.20x would be my choices assuming I had the mag box room to load them out like they should be.

180 or 200 Accubonds have worked well for me, but lately I’ve been working with the 215 Berger.
