300 Win Mag ammo for elk.

[RevJim]

For a handload = 175 LRX Ramshot Magnum Fed 215 Winchester Cases.
I have not used them but the Sig brass, etc is excellent, I bet their ammo is too!

I just finished my Tikka build in 300WM. Now, what ammo to shoot? I have some 200g Hornady Precision Hunter on hand. I know that I can shoot lighter bullets. What are your recommendations? Heavier yet or lighter? What ammo has been good to you? Factory loads only.

Presently working up a load for 168 gr. Barnes TTSX-BT’s for a 300 Win. Mag. They should be more than enough.

Use a quality bullet, weight doesn’t matter much.

even worse with 300WSM

Scheels in Missoula Montana has a bunch of Nosler 200 gr. Accubond factory loads.

I have a Tikka in 300wm and I shot about 10 types of factory lead free rounds. I found that 180 to 190g was the sweet spot for best accuracy. However, the 150g Barnes ttsx also shot pretty darn well and are way more fun to shoot (recoil wise). I ended up picking the federal trophy copper over the Barnes 180g ttsx or the 190g lrx. However, all three of those rounds were shooting sub MOA consistently.

That trophy copper is a great bullet. I shoot it in the Federal Premium in my Browning BLR. Shoots 1" groups consistently. Killed a nice bull early Nov 11th. One of the bullets broke both front legs. The shot was from 335 yards.
