300 WM hunting bullet?

[[email protected]]

Berger 190 GB VLd, 208 AMAx, 200 NAB?

What are you guys using? I want excellent accuracy for Long range. I was going to wait for the new long range accubond but I want to shoot my new gun already!

I dropped a doe at 804 yards with a 208 AMAX this past year. Golf ball sized exit hole. I love them for hunting and shooting steel. I have some 180 gr. Accubonds that I plan on using on Alberta whitetail. Never tried Bergers.

i know a 208 amax will destroy a whitetail ... all the ones ive shot have been drt. from 50yds to 675yds

The AMAX is a great bullet but if it is purely a hunting hunting rifle then go with the Accubond. Those things are wicked in game.

I have been using barnes 180ttsx and 200lrx in a 300wm. Living in kalifornia and it's lead restrictions are kinda limiting, but I have great accuracy and excellent kills with these bullets ranging from deer to elk.

I have had excellent results with both 208 amax and 210 vld's

I used to use Barnes TTSX but if you didn't hit the shoulder at close range, they "penciled" right through and didn't open up leaving no blood trail.

I've had very good luck with them in my 300wm, all shots were pass thoughts (no shoulder shots) and all animals dropped dead or only took a few steps before dropping.
My last elk was a hard quartering shoot, went in about first rib and left just behind last rib on the other side, animal took 5 steps and went down.
This year for out of state hunting I will be trying berger 215's. A guy on a different forum has had super results with them on everything he shot from speed goats to elk at distances ranging from 200-1200 yards in his 300wm.
