300 wsm 165 or 180

Either one is fine, use a quality bullet with controlled expansion of some sort. I like trophy bonded tip and Barnes Triple shock x bullet. But bullet placement is more important than anything so shoot what the gun likes I guess..

I like the federal 180gr. exterem shock ammo. Just make sure that your rifle likes the ammo you want to shoot. If the rifle doesnt like the ammo it wont be as accurate. Try them both and see which one your rifle shoots best then stick with it.

Personally I would shoot a good 165 grain bullet but to be perfectly honest the dead elk won't know the difference.
If you choose to use one of the all copper bullets (TSX, GMX, E-tip, etc...) I would go with a 150 grain.

Either will do the job. The 165's will shoot a bit flatter but nothing to get excited over.
Just pick out a well constructed bullet such as noslers , ttbc ,etc and go with what ever shoots the best out of your rifle. Personally I stick to either Federal premium or Hornady ammo for best results in my rifles but every gun likes specific load. When you find it by a few boxes from the same lot and you're set for awhile.
