Im taking a scoped Ruger No.1 in 300WinMag for use when my DR in 9.3x74R isnt appropriate with iron sights. Ive read that a 180gr bullet is a good choice; but Im not sure what factory load is "best". This is for a PG hunt with game ranging between Sprinbok and Eland. I dont handload, so I need a factory load that is readily available in the US. Id prefer to take only one type, so I dont have to worry about the wrong bullet when a shot presents. Any suggestions?

Federal makes a pretty fair load with a 200 grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claw. Zeroed at 250 yards you'll be 3.5" high at 100 yards and 4.7" low at 300 yards.  | |||

Thanks. What must have been just seconds before you posted I edited my post. I had been checking my notes and realized I had listed 220gr bullets instead of 180gr. I remember now being confused when I read that 180gr was a better choice, as I assumed the heavier 220gr would be better. So your suggestion of 200gr may be the best compromise between what I thought and what better minds than mine advised....

I'd still go with 180's for PG where a little flatter trajectory can be nice. tons to choose from, I like the Barnes, the Federal with Partions, The Rem with core-lokt, and the Winchester with the XP or the Accubond | |||

I will second the Federal 200 grain TBBC for the best factory 300 WM load. I have used it in Africa and US with excellent results. BigB | |||
