Hi All, I'm looking for a bullet recommendation for a fast twist .300 WM. The rifle is a Browning X Bolt with a 26" barrel 1:8.5" twist. I have Peterson long brass. So far I've tried 212 gr ELD-X and 200 gr Accubonds. Each shot roughly 1.5 MOA using H1000 or IMR4350 powder. This is a hunting rifle. Intended game will be primarily elk and deer, and probably a moose hunt at some point. I do not consider myself proficient enough to be taking shots much past 500 yds at the moment, but I'm hoping to up the proficiency to get there with more practice. So, I'm looking for a bullet that could do the job on an elk from 100 yds to 1,000 yds, if such a bullet exists. I hate to go below 200 grains with the 8.5" twist because I feel like I'm wasting the rifle's capability, but maybe I'm looking at it wrong. Curious what other people are shooting with fast twist .300 WMs. Thanks in advance.
