.300

I’m looking into starting to reload for my .300 win mag and am looking for a good bullet for elk. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Nosler Partition, 180gr.

My son has taken several elk with this bullet, as well as mule deer.

You can buy more expensive bullets, but the Partition never fails to perform.

Ditto to what sasquatch said. Nosler Partition.

I'm partial to the Nosler Partition 200 gr. Compared to the 180 Partition, I have found it to be more accurate, shoots flatter (check the ballistic tables) and has better terminal effects.

Hronady SST

I have had great success with the hornady SST bullets. Try them you will not be disapointed.
