I do know that the 5 different 300 win mags I've owned all "liked" 180 gr loads regardless of brand/model, and most really shot anything 168 gr and above excellent.
I'll be deer hunting with it in Nov, but also plan on large game hunting. Elk..Moose, ect. I figured 180 grain was going to be the most popular grain, but I really wanted to some insight on it from here. Any specific brand of ammo recommendations? I was looking at Winchester silver tip and federal. Seems like a lot of people are saying that shoots pretty well..but I guess the barrel likes to pick the brand of bullet sometimes.
