300 WM bullet for Elk

[Hoss Smith]

180 grain partition or accubond

It is unbelievable the number of elk that friends have killed with a 300 WM and 180g Sierra btsp, 71g of IMR 4350...They have had access to depredation permits for many years.

Go with what shoots best out of your rifle...they will all do the job with proper bullet placement. I personally love the 200 grain accubonds....they have performed flawlessly on caribou moose,deer and fly well out of all my 300 win mags. I like the higher BC of the 200 gainers over the 180's. VERY hard to find them right now in my neck of the woods or even on line....good luck!

180gr accubond for 15-20 years 0-500 has killed a bunch of elk for me. The eld-x seems to be pretty promising as well.

The only one of those I know works is the ttsx.

For 300 Win Mag, I favor the 200 gr Accubond.

either of the 3 you mentioned will work just fine

it'll be fun to see how many people just have to comment on bullets that you didn't ask about...

You could look at the 190 cx bullet as an option also. If going eldx I'd go with the 200 gr variant as it's known to be a better penetrator then some of the other eldx's. Barnes are good to but personally I'd aim for bone if use any mono bullet. Especially as distances increase and velocity decreases. Also the 180 accubond is an amazing performer.

TTSX would be what I use with what ya got. I run Berger VLD 185. They've performed flawlessly.

I have killed elk with the 180 gr Hornady Interlock and 180 gr Barnes TTSX but have not used the ELDX yet.
As others said,use what shoots best in your rifle and what you have confidence in.

Thanks. I'm going to start with TTSX and see how they run through my rifle. I'll keep my eye out for VLDs and probably Accubonds or Partitions as well but so far I haven't been able to find any lately.

years ago,back in the 70,s I was a first time elk hunter.Before I thought you needed a special bullet to kill an elk....Nosler had just come out with ballistic tips..... they shot good outa my 300 wm ..... so thats what I used and they killed elk just fine....go onto www.snipershide.com and search for elk ranchers depredation....... they use alot of sierra SMK,s.....
SHOT PLACEMENT IS THE DETERMINING FACTOR.....

165,180 Sciroccos, or 165,180ab

That said, my last bull was with a 160 partition out of my 7stw

Probably lean more towards the 165s mentioned above.
