I was shooting 165 Grain Federal Nosler Ballistic Tip for deer. To my chagrin, the bullet has been discontinued (unless someone can point me somewhere that has them). I do not reload myself. With the increase in price of ammo, some choices are just $$rediculous$$. What would you go with (yes, I am using a 300 win mag for deer)?

165 gr Nosler Partition $48.49
165 gr Barnes Triple-shock-X $50.99
165 gr Fed Fusion Spitzer Boat Tail $33.49
150 gr Fed Speer Trophy Bonded Bear Claw $22.49
150 gr Winchester Supreme Elite XP3 $46.99
165 gr Hornady Interbond$33.99
Other?

Any of those will work fine for deer. Just find the one that shoots best out of YOUR rifle and stick with them.

I'd choose the cheapest and go with that.

I use the regular Federal Ammo

Last time I bought some it was $14 a box!

You do not need Federal Supreme ammo or top of the line bullets to kill a whitetail deer.

I use Federal Classic ammo with Sierra Pro Hunter 180 gr bullets.

I have yet to see a deer walk away after being shot with one of them.

My local dealer has 4 boxes of 300 win mag Hornady ammo 165 grain SST for 23.00 a box...Interbond will not be needed for a deer

Doe Dumper

The plain ol blue box Federal as The Rifleman mentioned can be had at Wal Mart...prob only 1`80 gr though.

I would go withthe fusions they are getting good reviews from what I can see and the price is just a little above reasonalble.
