RE: 300 Win mag load for Elk
WOW SCOTT!!
Thank you very much for taking the time to research and help me with my question!!
I will definately consider the Barnes bullet. I've never shot any of their bullets or ammo but I will try anything once!!

With the exception of the Barnes TSX, I would stay with the 180's for elk. They are a big enough animal where to slight trajectory advantage of lighter bullets is not going to be much of a factor - and the extra penetration of the heavier bullet could come in handy. Hornady Interbond, Swift Scirocco, Nosler Accubond, Trophy Bonded - any of these bullets in 180 grain should work great for elk.
