Looking for recommendations for a good all-around .30 cal bullet for a .300 H&H. I like to use round nose bullets. They would be used for elk and caribou.

If I were to use the 300 H&H for elk & caribou, I'd use 165 grain boat tail spire points!

No real need to use the round nose!

Heck, I'd be using Nosler's 180 grain protected point partition and never look back.

Go with the Nosler partition spire point. Forget the idea of round nose bullets.

Hornady makes a couple good round nosed bullets in 30 cal One is 180 grains and the other 220 grains. The 300 H&H can move them 2,900 and 2,600 '/sec respectively.

Both will tip over elk with ease.

That said...I agree with other replys.....find a good 180-200 grain spitzer.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass or anything just curious. What advantage is there in using a round nose bullet?

WOODLEIGH makes a semi roundnose in 180gr thats shoots great in my 300-shoots to the same poi as partitions and interlocks of the same weight.

You guys are going to kill me for this one - I just like the way that old cartridge looks when topped with a round nose bullet. Yes, really bad criteria for chosing a bullet, but...

I figure I'll have a couple of different loads - one for elk, caribou and plains game and one for white tails here in Michigan.

hey double--whatever floats your boat is good enough for me cause you are paying the freight.
