Best ammo for my 300WSM T3?

Posted by Wasabi on October 9, 2011 at 4:50 pm

I've been eyeballing some Winchester Supreme Elite XP3 150g or Federal TSX 165g but am looking for other's opinions. This will be used for mostly range shooting, deer hunting and maybe on hogs. Show I stick with lower grain bullets?

Thanks for any input.

The TSX is a great bullet for hunting but overkill for plinking.

Winchester was what I used before reloading and it was consistent enough to be fun.

I have tikka t3 in 300 wsm and use handloads in the hornady in the sst 165 with RL15 58g (hot 85.5) suggested most accurate with 58g with final load length of 2.890 barely fit clip approx .0625 off the lands for up to 600 yrds and 180g up to 1000 yrds (watch your head space with wsm) rotational drift at a 1000 yrds was approx 6″ for both (g) Best 3 roundgroup at 100 yrds .375″
