Elk hammer

[308Nut]

I have only briefly browsed through this thread so I apologize in advance if I'm repeating anybody.

 

1st, I think with the right bullet, the 300WM is a long range hammer. Even for bigger game like mature bull elk.

 

2nd, what kind of bullet should be determined by your max range. If you're wishing to keep it close to reasonably close, a 200 partition or 200 ACCUBOND are tough to beat. If you want to reach further, then I think a heavier, higher BC offering is a better option. If you really want to run way out there then you're going to need to go even heavier and more streamlined.

 

I am not typically a Berger fan. With that in mind, I've also come to appreciate the 300WM / 215 Hybrid combo. It is a superb combination. Yes they come unglued but there is more than enough mass and materials present to see it through.

 

I've also had good success with the 210ablr. The bc is less than advertised but still quite adequate. They're a bit more frail than I thought they'd be but hold up fair.

 

I haven't played with the 212 ELDX yet. In theory, they would be a solid compliment to the 300WM. Probably not as explosive as the 215 hybrid and has a lower BC but comparable.

I agree with 308Nut. A 300WM and that 215 Berger Hybrid is a lethal combination at extended ranges and I know that from experience. I would say it's not the greatest at closer ranges but for me, it's managed to do the job on everything so far from 75 yards all the way out to 855 yards. There is a bunch of great bullets available, just have to make sure it shoots good out of your rig.
