If you’re a scope dialer, then a heavy bullet can make sense, but for the rest of us, the 180 gr is by far the most popular weight for elk and deer.

Old rifle liked 180 Corelokt
New one likes Hornady Superformance180 SST
I'd like to find some Hornady Precision Hunter but all my shots have always been under 350yds so the aforementioned have performed great.

I love the Berger 215 but for only one choice forever? Mby I’d choose the 185 Jugs??? That way if a 308 or 300 WSM came down the pike I’d be covered.

Ive grown to like the ELD-X's, currently shooting 178's but if I could only have one, it'd be the 200 gr. I have yet to try the 215 gr bergers, but prefer the lighter bullets. I don't typically reach WAAAY out there though.

It’s hard for me to not say Berger. 300 Win Mag, like others said, 180 Nosler. I think 180 is the sweet spot for a 300 win with H1000, 215M.

I tried almost a dozen different brands and weights through my Bergara and could not get the groups I wanted out of anything over 185 gr. It could be the 26" barrel with the 3 1/2" brake. 185 Bergara Hybrid Hunters are shooting phenomenal. .477" 3 shot group at 100 yards and shooting less than 2" 3 shot groups at 400 as of this past weekend. I don't reload, so I'm more than OK with that from a factory round.

Federal 200gr Terminal Ascent shoots consistantly with mine. I regularly shoot past 500yrds out to 1,000 with great grouping

So, you said for everything. That means you may need to stop a grizzly or brown bear that wants to cuddle. In that case, I would load a 200gr Terminal Ascent, Nosler AB, or Barnes LRX. I don't believe any of the softer options are suitable for a frontal shot on a large bear.

These three will also provide good performance on everything else, but may be a slower killer and not perform as well at long range.

If you saw my reloading room, you’d see plenty of 180gr Accubonds and TTSXs. But I’ve invested heavily in the Berger 215gr and that is our go to bullet. That is what we shoot out of 2 300s and we’re getting a third this winter that will shoot 215s.

180 or 200 Partition, 180 or 200 Accubond, 178 or 200 ELDX, or 200 Terminal Ascent… whichever shoots best.
