I have a new Sako 85 300 WSM laminated and need to spend some time at the range before moose hunting. I am planning on bringing a few 180 grain bullets to shot and see which one shots the best. ...likley bring Winchester Supreme Elite XP3, Federal Vital-Shot Nosler Partition and ??. Any other recommendations?

I know from previous posts that the Nosler Partition is a popular choice for moose, but haven't seen any feedback on the XP3. Anybody shoot them?


Thanks.

I will be using the 180 grain XP3 on elk and moose this year with my 300wsm, hopefully i can provide you with some feedback..and vice versa!

good luck

Barnes TSX, Nosler Parts & Nosler Accubonds would be my 1-2-3 to try. Never tried the XP3 nor heard anyone 1st hand who has either for larger then deer.

I would highly suggest the Barnes 180gr TSX (triple shock). I've shot 2 moose with my 300 wby @ about 150 yds, one through both shoulders, and the other a texas heart shot, both dropped right where they stood. Broadside shot went through both shoulder blades and exited the far side. The other entered the left hind quarter and exited the opposite front side. That's all I'll ever shoot at big game. Very accurate too!! good luck!!!!

I used a 180gr Accubond on my bison and that's what I plan use on my moose. I shoot a 300 Win mag
