Just wanted to put this out there and see what kind of bullets (brand, material, grain, etc.) others are running through their .300s or what shoots well through this specific gun.
Just bought a Browning X-Bolt speed in a .300 win mag. Equipped it with a Vortex Viper. First time ever using a .300 and a scope with the fancy elevation and windage dials. Mostly looking to use for elk, but maybe some longer range deer hunting as well.
Got it on paper at 50 yards with just some cheap Federal ammo that I don’t intend to use for actually sighting it in. Currently looking at the Hornady Precision Hunter 200 gr or 178 gr. Also was thinking about trying some Barnes copper ammo in a 180 gr. Never shot copper, but been hearing some great things about it lately and a lot of people are pushing towards lead free ammo now given the toxicity stuff.
Hoping to get it all dialed in in the next week or two before the season starts.
