I recently bought a rifle chambered in 300 RUM, 28" inch barrel, 1:8" twist. Looking to hunt with it and shoot heavier 220gr to 250gr. My experience with the 300 RUM is limited. My shooting so far has been with Hornady ELD-X 220gr, A-Tip 230gr and 250gr, and Berger LR Hybrid and Elite Hunter 245gr.
I'm looking to get into non-lead bullets for hunting to collect meat (deer, elk, caribou, moose).
What are the better expanding copper or bronze mono-metal bullets on the market that don't "pencil" through that you've used? Specifically, if shooting an animal through the lungs through soft tissue which bullet expands and causes lots of shock and damage and isn't too sensitive on velocity? Trying to avoid shoulder/heavy bone shots and meat loss. I don't want any lead in my meat. Do any perform better in 300 RUM 28" inch barrel in the 220gr to 250gr ?
There's quite a few mono metals today...
Barnes: TSX, TTSX, VOR-TX, LRX
Hammer: Shock Hammer, Hammer Hunter, DeadBlow Hammers, Absolute Hammers,
Hornady: CX
Norma: Eco Strike
Sig: Copper Hunting
Winchester: Copper Impact
Would the Hammer DeadBlow expand the most?
