Until this year I had been using Hornady Custom 150 grain boat tail spire points in my .300 Win Mag. I'm now going to give the Hornady SST's (ballistic tips) a try, since they offer them in 150 gr .300 mag.

Barnes X in all calibers for all game. I beleive that we are up to about 10 whitetails with the X bullet so far. Only exception is in my .45-70. For that I use Hornady 350 round-nose soft points.

What ever shoots the most accurate out of your gun. Some guns are somewhat pickey as to what load and brand they shoot most accurate with. You have to experiment a little to find the right one. Or hand load if you want it really accurate.
