Which load?

[Conrad101st]

Been tinkering with my 300 win mag.

Which bullet to go with for elk between zero and 700.

These are all four shot groups.

200 LRX - BC of .546
Estimated MV of 2900



212 ELDX - B/C .673
EST MV 2875
(No idea why I have a flier ????)


200 grain accubond - BC .588
Estimated MV 2925

I’m an Accubond guy. As long as you know your drops and drift, I don’t think BC is all that important.

I'd use the accubond in case you end up with a short range shot. The eld-x is a great long range bullet but is pretty explosive close range, it's a cup and core unbounded bullet that expands great at long range.

I like Accubonds.

Accubond no question!

Another accubond guy here, but those are all solid groups most guys would be proud of. LRX would be my 2nd choice, nothing against the Hornady. I am a believer in tried and proved bullets.

Me too, that 200 gr accubond is my favorite for my 300 win and will be going with me as well. Mine is over 72.5 gr rl 22 though.

 

[deerkiller]

now take the 3rd target back to the range and put 7 more rounds of the same load downrange so you know at least what "part" of your average accuracy is

Accubond - great bullet with a high BC. I'd go 180 or 200 gr.

The accubond looks like a pretty good group!

I like the 180 Swift Scirocco in my 30-06. I'd work with that or the 165.

Thanks for the input. I’m gonna load 50 accubonds; set the zero and start shooting some groups at 200 and 600 to true it up.

I liked the ELX but worry about the problems with close shots. Opposite problem with the Barnes.

I know the accubonds work when they hit flesh.

I am ELD-X fan, think the performance is top notch.

Even at close range which inevitably will happen b/c it’s Mother Nature’s joke to throw that at us after we spend hours obsessing over being able to hit at 600 yards???

 

[Fritz]

I have never had a problem with ELD-X from 100 yards to 600. They may ruin more meat than some but kill the animal ethically and quickly, which means the most to me. Have had good luck with Accubonds at longer ranges.

Elk have been killed by each!
