75.5 gr RL-22 Fed 215 M Just touching the lands. Neck sized with a Lee collet die and seated with a Redding comp seater. I bump the shoulder back with a Redding body die when I need to. This load shoots well for me and has killed some nice muleys a long ways off.

8 out of 16 Elk hunters in my group use 180 grain Nosler Partitions or North Forks or Accubonds with 76 grains of RL-22 and Fed 210 or 215 primer. For us the RL-22 is magic with the .300 Winnie. Many kills for many years. Good shooting.

Some guns just don't like some bullets. I get outstanding groups from my Sako .300 H&H with both the 180 B.Tip and the 180 Accubond (never exceeding 3/4"). However, my virtually identical Sako .300 Win doesn't seem to like either bullet nearly as well.
Other calibers in which I use Accubonds also do well with them, so I don't think there is anything intrinsically wrong with Accubonds -- you may simply need to switch to another bullet to get the best accuracy. You might be surprised, but it is possible that Partitions could give better accuracy in your particular rifle. Either should kill an elk/moose/bear as dead.
FWIW, I have found RL-25 to provide the mosty optimal velocities in a .300 Win.

My rifle uses 80 grains of 7828 and the 180 grain partition. The 26 inch barrel produces 3152 FPS. The COL is 3.6 inches. CAUTION, DO NOT TRY THIS IN A STANDARD THROATED RIFLE!
