Just started shooting the Berger 215 hybrids out of my 300WM. They have been very accurate and have expanded well

Now where in the world did you find those little beauties?! I haven't seen a box in years & all my Swedes have adored them!
I'm reduced to 129gn Hornady BTSP in my current 6.5x66. It really shots well with the Berger 140 VLDs, but they have universally failed to impress me on game.
I got them directly off speer’s website about 6 months ago, they were in stock for a very short amount of time and I just got lucky. Now that I know they shoot well I wish I had gotten a lot more

5 tags filled so far, one shot kills, still had mixed results as far as bullet's exploding on impact but everything has hit the dirt dead.

Hammer Hunter 152g
300 WSM
3300 FPS

My first year using these bullets and first animal taken was a bull elk at 80ish yards. Quartering towards me and he was staring me down. Not my preferred angle but I was thinking he was going to be leaving the area in seconds so bullet took him on point of his left shoulder. Bullet broke the shoulder bone on the way into boiler room and simply flattened him. DRT. Never got up. Bullet did not exit and I did not recover it. Third season buck tag in hand so there will hopefully be one more event to report on in a couple weeks. Loving these bullets so far. Accurate. Effective (so far). Available.

I have moved to Hammer Bullets in my hunting rifles and so far they are doing extremely well in my 300 WSM.

Which powder are you using for this bullet weight?

I had to load some non-lead bullets for hunting this year. I chose the Cutting Edge Bullets 180grain Lazer for my 300WM. They are listed as single feed only but they just barely loaded from my 700 magazine. Ladder test at 650 yards got me to 78 grains of Retumbo for a load. I dropped two bucks this year with this round. One didn’t go 20, and the other didn’t go nothing. Hoping to see how it performs on a bear this fall.
