[QUOTE="OG-danimal, post: 3066935, member: 122716"] Hey all, I’m building up a load for my father in laws 300wsm and wondering what bullet you all would recommend for my elk hunt this November? The barrel is 24” 1:10 twist topped with a suppressor. I have some 154 hammer HHTs, but I’m not quite getting the downrange velocity I was hoping for. Best group is with varget at 3150fps. I could push it to 3250 with RL 16, but that’s touching pressure pretty hard and only gets me an additional 100 yards above 1500ft/lbs… with this bullet I’m getting max range of 500 yards with 1500ft/lbs. And that’s fine, but my 6.5prc will get 1500ft/lbs out to 700 yards with the 125HHTs… So, my question is stick with the 154HHT, or move to something like the 200gr ELDX or for more knock down and range? I won’t be shooting past 600 yards anyways, but just was wondering what you all think. Cheers [/QUOTE]
