Doing some research for an Elk load using a Savage 116 in .300 WSM and am tossing around the 2 bullets above in the 175/178 gr weight and looks for any real world experience with those 2 bullets. I’ve had great success with a 30-06 and 180 gr Nosler Partitions over the years on Elk in Arizona but I’ve always had shots under 100 yards. The next couple of years I’m planning on going out to Colorado for Elk and want to use the .300 WSM in case I have shots out a little farther. Understand that the .300 WSM and 30-06 aren’t that much apart in performance it maybe just a little less drop out to 300-400 yards is a small confidence booster.
We wont get into bullet drop/range finding and it’s importance here, as that’s another conversation. I’m just looking for feedback on how those bullets perform as I see an article here and there questioning the ELD-X performance in the field. I initially started building loads with the ELD-X but am questioning that bullet choice now.
Thanks in advance.
