Default .30-.378 ammo recommendations

I recently picked up a Weatherby Accumark .30-.378. I have shot this caliber before and know 3 other guys that have them, so I know that it kicks, and I know that it's expensive to shoot, and I know that it's heavy.

That being said, I want to start shooting it and maybe take a whitetail doe with it this year, what recommendation do you have on the type of bullet to use? I'll probably buy a couple boxes, save the brass, and then start re-loading. But, in actuality, I probably won't use it a ton. It was too good of a deal to pass up even though I was wanting a 300 Weatherby Mag first.

So, I'm looking for a bullet to shoot whitetail with at 200-300 yards.

Default RE: .30-.378 ammo recommendations

in my 30-378, i've always used 180gr. ballistic tips on deer. but i've been meaning to try some accubonds since they aren't as fragile as the BT's. i've never shot factory loads in mine, too expensive. in the accumark it won't kick too bad being it's heavy. any questions just ask.
