Thread: 300 Win Mag projectiles

Go Eldms you won't be disappointed unless you shoot something very close then it may blow but if you are at range doubt you will find a better killing projectile

Im also running the 208 eldm @2800fps, yet to kill anything with it, but im looking farward to the aforementioned devastation 😁

I shoot 165gr Accubonds in mine, they can be driven threw a meter, of mussel and bone, and still exit, (bull moose) 24th September.
my rifle is pretty light (7'1/4lbs scoped) and 200gr are brutal in recoil,

Accubonds are Best hunting bullets for 3m to 600m i rekon.... just a little pricey for Myself to use often.
price aside... one of the best hunting projectiles

hang on a minute??

SST, pasing through? any more to elaborate? is it expanding a it does so? or passing thru in 30 pieces?
This is the first ive heard of the SST being anything other than, explosive?

For Tahr and Red skins the animals are not entirely "tough" although the Tahr is Dense i rekon for what they are... the standard Corelokt is superb on this class game. fancy Cu an Core like ELDX are better on paper the further back you stand.

i cant argue wit hthe ELDX performance in NZ,its a very common projectile over there.

Where abouts are we trying to poke the hole in the animal?, I too used to run the 180sst @ around 3000 and found them way too explosive, tried the 200eldx couldn’t get it to shoot that well, now running 178eldx, great projectile, if ur worried about damaging meat at close range shoot it in the head
