What bullet in a .300 win mag

For all around work for mule deer, sheep/goat and elk/moose?

165 grain or 180 grain ?

I'd say it depends on what bullet you choose. All 180s are not created equal, nor are 165s.

...and after further consideration, either a 180-grain Partition or a 165-grain Partition is what I'd choose. Leaning toward the 180.

I’d go heavy, regardless, but your range will make a difference as to which specific bullet. I’d probably shoot a Partition or Accubond for short to medium ranges. Beyond that, an ELD-X.

No I meant what bullet. Not just grain

100-300 yards on 90% of shots

I like Accubonds in my .300.

I use ablr

180 Accubonds in my 300 Winny shoots lights out.

I think it’s going to be hard to beat an Accubond. It’s something you can stretch out there a ways when needed, but is a solid killing bullet. I use different bullets for different things, but for a serious western gun, like your .300, there’s no doubt I’d load up a heavy Accubond and never look back.

I hunt muledeer with a 150 gr Scirocco II. I've shot 5 MD with that bullet in ranges 80, 110, 225, 315, and 413. All ranges verified with a rangefinder. None of the deer required more than one shot. I like the 150 due to the flat shooting capabilities. I'm going to load ELD-X 172 gr for an elk hunt this year.

180 AB is a good one. I like heavier bullets in the WM, so a 200 ELD-X or the 212 ELD-X would be awesome. I've seen real good results on the 212 ELD-X out to 800 yards on game. A 190 or 210 VLD-H is bad medicine, also.

215 berger hybrid is another good option if you can stabilize it.

I was thinking accubonds as well.

Probably go that route.

Anyone have any experience with the hornady interbond superformance?

That 180 grain interbond is smoking fast

All I can tell you about the Superformance ammo is don’t believe the velocities on the box. Run it through a chrono and believe that. It’s been my experience that they don’t always match up.

180 would be the lightest. I loaded a friend's with 210 VLD-Hunting and he can't say enough good about it. First Berger he has ever run. But, it is in a Tikka, with a dang 22" barrel, and I've got him below 2900 MV, so there's that thing I've noticed of slowing down a Berger, a tad.

Point being, big cartridge, big bullet.

Really? I’ve never heard that I’ve always thought hornady was a pretty honest outfit.

Who am I kidding. I like to shoot too much. I would work up a 180 accubond load. Then a load with some 200+ Berger heavies. Then I would work up something with either Hornady or Sierra in the 165-168 for inexpensive low recoil range time and see just how fast I could push them. Then......

They seem to be, and I still think they’re awesome, but they don’t always get it right.

And I still use some SF ammo. It’s fine. It just didn’t have the added velocity they claimed. Other SF ammo might.

I like 200 grain partitions.

I agree on the 180 Accubond, it was my 2nd bullet I tried on the 300 Winny, after testing and tweaking, then I never looked back after shooting them at 3,175 fps and half inch 3 shot groups at 300 yards. It's an all around bullet in my application as a hunting load. My first bullet was the 212 ELD-X which is a great bullet, but did not have enough for further testing.
