Default Getting Reloads done

I'm going to see a guy to do some reloads for my 300 Win Mag. Of course, most of my shooting will be at the range but I'm looking for an accurate deer load as well. I'm not sure which bullets to go with. I've used 150gr Nosler Partitions in the past but I was thinking of trying something else just for variety.

I was thinking of the 180gr Remington Core Lokt round nose bullets cause they seem like an ideal whitetail bullet at any distance. I'd be giving up some muzzle velocity over the 150gr spitzer but I'm not interested in long shots anyway. Would these perform well at the range? Sub 1/2" groups are not unusual for my Sako 75 so I don't want to sacrifice accuracy too much.

The reason I'm thinking of switching from the Partitions is that I've never had an exit wound with them. I know that's kind of unusual but they just seem to do their damage and disintegrate. That actually cause some tracking problems one year and the shot was broadside and only 40yds. I thought a heavier bullet would help since shooting 250-300 pound animals is not unusual here in SK.

Any suggestions?
