Which 180 grain .308 Bullet?
Any ideas on a good bullet for 30-06 to 300 win mag to hunting anything and everything.

What about at 300 Ultra mag speeds.

Maybe I should ask "If you could only shoot one bullet, what would it be". In hindsight, I should have loaded up on North Forks!

Bullet should expand and if found have a classic mushroom shape with good weight remaining.

So many bullets, so much hype, so little time.

Thanks

choosing bullets is like choosing tile for your house...so many choices that you may like.

hmmmm, just one bullet for the .06, 300wm, and 300 rum......

I guess I'd go with a 180 Scirocco or Accubond or TTSX.

I use the 168 TSX in my .06. I'd use a 180 bullet in the 300wm, and I shoot the 200 AB in my RUM. Not much help, huh?

Hard to beat the Nosler Partition for all around performance at normal velocities, but for the RUM I'd suppose I'd play around with the super premiums.

If you must pick just one? I agree, Nosler partition.

Same here. The Partitons have always worked "as advertised" for me..........

How do the 200 gr AB's perform in the Rum?

Any ideas how the 180 Scirocco's perform in the 300 win and the Rum?

Thanks for all the reply's guys!
