Yes. Here's a doe I shot at ~280 yards with 208 A-max from a few years ago after they first came out. I've had customers take all kinds of critters (elk, bear, caribou) with the 208 A-max. It is a very good bullet for hunting. It provides deep penetration with good expansion.

No. Federal brass is too soft, and will wear out in about 1-3 reloads. Spend the extra money and get some Nosler or Norma brass. It's expensive, but worth it.

300 Win Mag likes the 180 gr Sierra Game Kings on top of some H1000

I generally use the Barnes TSX, have been happy with their accuracy and performance.

The .300 WM and the Nosler 200 gr Partition go together like PB&J. Fuel it with Re-22 or MRP, then go forth and fill an ark.
