Thread: .300wsm all rounder

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.
