What are some of your favorite 165 and 180 gr. loads? I am going elk hunting this fall and to date have only loaded whitetail loads...Thanks

76-77 grs of RL22, 180 gr Nosler Partition, Winchester magnum primers, 2950-3000 fps and accutate in my rifle. Work up to these loads.

I topped out at 75gr of RL-22 with some old Antiques I found at a gunshow. You might also try a 200gr AccuBond. I got a SUPER accurate load at 71gr of RL-22, but 72gr was almost as good so I'm going with a grain's worth more speed.

Good luck with hunt.

168gr Barnes Triple shock. Load to 0.050" from the lands with 77.0 gr of RL22 or try H4831....(I can't remember the powder charge off hand for sure but I think I worked up to 78.0 grains.

I have to agree with Mauser98, if a 300Win mag doesn,t shoot with this load then there could be problems.

I used 78 grains of R-22 with the 180 ballistic tip @3075 fps in a ruger 77 300 win mag. This was a max load for me.



These were federal nickel cases and cci 200 primers.
