Hi guys
Looking at starting reloading for the new sako 300 wm we have just got, has anyone got any advice on pills that work well, will be used mainly for Camels at the moment and maybe asian water buffalo at some stage

Waz,

Have had very good results with the Nosler 180gr partitions, good accuracy and very effective for me on whitetail deer, to elk and the African plains game.

best of luck

Although I've never shot a camel or water buff, I would assume penetration is required. For that, I would look no further than the 180 grain Barnes TSX. I've been using them for a few years now and still haven't caught one from elk to African plains game.

Good luck!

A heavy ie: 220 gr., bonded bullet or Barnes all copper bullet would be called for. Woodleigh would be my first choice, but I don't have any experience with Barnes bullets. I tried them years ago and had accuracy issues with them, or I should say lack of accuracy issues.

Another vote for partition. If you want something more modern, try the Accubond. I'd stick with the 180gr for what you mentioned and make sure to place the bullet where it needs to go.
