Factory Hornady 200 eld-x precision hunters usually shoot under 3/4” from my sons Sako A7 I haven’t found any factory loads that don’t shoot under an inch out of my Sako A7. 😁 I’ve never had a Sako that wouldn’t shoot an inch or better. I load 165 TTSX for mine, probably gonna drop down to 150’s, only hunt deer.

Federal terminal ascent 200 gr.
Agree with Nosler trophy grade accubond 180's.
185 gr Berger HVLD from hsm.
The PH eldx are insanely sub MOA. I've killed several with em, but have moved away. They work great at longer range (400+), but have grown leary inside of that.

I’m in “the best bullet” camp too. I’d pick my ideal hunting bullet then the ammo for my 3 flavors of 300 mag - WSM, Win Mag, Weatherby, that bullet is the 180 grain TTSX from Barnes. It takes away angle limitations as far as I can hit an elk.

i'm leaning towards the Hornady 200GR ELDX what are yall elk killers finding in your .300 WINCHESTER MAGNUM FACTORY RIFLES? Buddy has very good accuracy w/the Hornady Precision Hunter 200gn ELD-X ammo from a SS Sako 75 in 300Win. He shot 1 Mule Deer w/the combo and is now back to looking @ stouter projectiles. He's owned the rifle since the late 90's and has shot quite a bit of game with it, as such can make informed opinions when switching components. He's back to Handloading 200gn Accubonds and Partitions.
I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.

Nosler has a 300 Win. Mag. load with the 200 grain Nosler Partition bullet; loaded to about the same velocity as I use in my 30-06.
2750 fps. with a 200 grain Partition, is good stuff for most anything.
