So like I posted over in the optic area I would like some opinions on best factory loads for whitetail/mule deer and someday possibly elk…maybe that's 2 different rounds? I don't have reloading equipment yet but maybe I should go that direction? Opinions welcome! Thanks
 
Weatherby ammo is starting to show up at my local sportsmans warehouse. What I would do though is find some new brass and have unknown munitions load it.
 
A few places online have the 100gr Barnes Tipped TSX available.

257 Weatherby was my original favorite. Also the main reasons I bought reloading equipment.

Grafs.com is over $100/box ($5.30 every time you pull the trigger).

Ammoseek.com sometimes works to find stuff. Seems a lot of companies on there don't have the best reputation so double check reviews.

 
Think Steve at Hammer has someone loading custom ammo for them and might not be that much more then factory if you want to try the hammers.I had either great luck with the ttsx and then a few that werent so good is why I am giving the hammers a try.Hard to go wrong with the noslers
