I have a M70 EWSS 300WM that I am having trouble find a good load for and would prefer not to order every option on Brownells/Midway to find something it likes. I will be using factory ammo for now.
What I have tried so far (100 yards-3 shots)
Hornady 180gr Superperformance SST- 2.1”/3.5”
Hornady 200gr Precision Hunter-3.0”
Federal 180gr Non Typical-1.7”
Federal Premium 185gr Berger Hybrid-2.3”
Winchester 150gr Deer Season XP-1.2”
Still to try (already own):
Norma 150gr Whitetail
Winchester 180gr Power Point
Norma 180gr? Bond Strike
Federal 165gr TSX
Federal 165gr Fusion
I would really prefer to shoot a 180-200gr bullet, but so far it’s liked the 150gr the best. This rifle is supposed to be my do all heavy hitter, I have .243-270 for the lighter work that all shoot great.
Any ideas what other rounds might be worth trying based on results to date? I have a half dozen different boxes in my carts but that adds up quick. I’m ordering some other ammo and was going to throw a couple more boxes of 300 on to try.
I’m tempted to give the 180gr Sierra GameChanger a shot, my 6.5 loved it and it was respectable in my .243.
