ORIGINAL: 300grains

If it comes in 308 win, a splendid cartridge.
I'll have to second the .308. It's ballistics are very similar to the 30-06, but with a short action. That can be important when you need a quick follow-up on a deer or bear that you will most likely encounter where you are hunting.
