So I've tried 7-8 different types of ammo for my 300 WBY Vanguard, and it seems to like 180 gr Core lokt's the best.
Had high hopes for Hornady Ballistic Tips; but they actually turned out to be one of the worst performers.
I'd really like to find something that I can shoot under 1" 100 yd groups with, the corelokt's are just over 1".
If you have a 300 WBY Vanguard, I'd love to hear what your rifle likes best.
PS - This is for deer/elk hunting

Because when I bought it, I could only afford one rifle for both deer and elk and chose to go more to the elk side. Sure, I could've gone with a 30.06; but wanted a little more oomph for the elk.
Next rifle will likely be a 270 for deer.

When I had a 300wby its preference was 200gr bullets. With my best handload my Mark V would barely break 1". The bullet I ran was 200gr NP it wasn't the best grouper at 1.25-1.5" but it performed well on deer to moose.
