Thread: .300wsm all rounder

Hi team,

Pros and cons

If I needed a bullet for 100-700 yards kills, best expansion and ultimate killing power speed 2900 - 3200.

I hear very mixed messages

TTSX 180
TSX 180
VLD 185
Amax 178

what exactly will you be shooting? will you be single feeding the rounds or will the be mag fed?

I used to use the 155amax in mine goin faaaaast still poleaxed reds up close. Previous owner andyanimal on the other forum rekoned he droped reds out to 800 with that combo.

Getting one bullet to do that is hard. A bullet that will expand well at 700 may be too soft at 100 yd or closer. I hate to say it but consider two bullets, one for 0 - 300 yds and one for 300 yd +. In my 7mm mag I use 160 accubond up close and then 168 VLD for the long range stuff. Having said that I have used the 168 vld at 40 yds on a red hind and got complete penetration on a broadside shoulder shot.
My vote would be either the VLD or A-max and pick your shot at close range.

Two bullets?! Nah too complicated. It doesn't need to be exact just the best option, I'm pretty rough anyhow.

Werent you wanking on how good SSTs were??? Or have you realised?
Y dont u rebarrel it to something decent already!!!

Off those id go for the 178 amaxes . Wouldn't recommend up close but you hunt tops mostly any way?

Nosler 180 BT goes well on goats 0-900 in the 300WSM I built

But what is your twist? How long is your barrel?

VLD should be OK close as well

Right on Leathel, 180g Nosler Ballistic Tip. One projectile for everything.

150gr Core-lokt

110v max, go on Morgan 'rebarrel it to a real gun:p

Have to catch up when we are up next mate.

we shot 210 SMK out of 300 win mag out to 675 meters this week, fucks shit up. i dunno speed difference between win mag and wsm

168 ttsx. Rl-17 = wicked round. Bull Tahr at 520m this year went down like a sack of shit. And plenty or reds between 400-700.also had reds and fallow at only 20m not an issue there either
