PR makes very good bullets and they normally fly very well.

I set my son-in-law up with some 300 grain all lead Knights for hunting in the tri-cities area and in the Blues above Walla Walla. I feel the 300 grain will work just fine on whitetail. If I were shooting an all lead bullet at elk I really think I would go a little heavier. The all lead bullet can sometimes not hold together in the lighter weights. Here in Idaho when when we go to ML season next week I will go to a 460 grain Bull Shop conical for elk. They are such a thick skinned animal especially this time of year - you have to have a bullet that gets in and get through.

With all of that, I do think your 300 grain will work well especially with the proper bullet placement. The heavier conical (which is a slip fit conical) will allow a greater margin of error. Given an elk in front of me at a reasonable range and a 300 grain lead bullet - I am going to shoot that bullet at that elk and not worry about it.

Oh! almost forgot - Welcome to hunting net this is one of the best forums you will ever find....
