I use the sako 165 grain . Been real good to me . Sako ammo comes in boxes of ten too .

Mate of mine in USA bought a new 300 Win Mag ( custom rifle ) ans several differnt brands of factory amm to see which shot best. All apart from Norma bond strike were only average at best. Can't remember if he used 165 od 180 gn Bondstrike but it shot cloverleaf groups at 100 yds.
FWIW originally the 300 Win Mag cartridge was developed around a 180 gn bullet and, I think, 1:10 twist rate.

federal premium 185gr berger hybrid hunter

Hornady precision hunter can be good in some guns. Quite pricey nowdays

Precision hunter 200g eldx

Mate shoots 200 eldx, devastating on tahr

That price is eyewatering.

No luck with the Normas locally. Grabbed some Sako 165s and 200 ELDx. 165s shot nicely so will run with that for now. Cheers

Holy shit mate, be able to hit them in the eye at that distance. Do love my hc long range, just needs a bit of work on the trigger.
