Hornady SST 243 and I load my own. Fast, accurate and a very devastating round!

.300 WM, 180gr Barnes (same load for deer and elk).

I shoot 180 Barnes TTSX handloads out of my 300 weatherby. 78 grains of RL 19 seems to be the sweet spot for that bullet and gun, I'm confident up to 500 yards on deer with that gun, although with these little dark horned blacktails I can't see the points at that distance very well unless I'm near my truck and have my spotting scope, so like to keep it under 400. Its put down everything I've managed to hit with it real quick like.

I just started playing with some 110 grain barnes TTSX bullets for an upcoming antelope hunt, man those things are smokin, although I wouldn't use it on deer because of the energy loss at longer range.

Everyone has said what they use and probably they have all gone out and shot various brands and sizes of bullets through their rifles to see what shoots and groups the best for their gun. THAT is a MUST find out what your gun likes what can you shoot and still end up with 1 inch groups at 200 yards. MY Browning 06 loves 180 Sierra SBT handloads 58.5 gr IMR 4350 Federal 215 mag primers but that is my rifle Gotta see what yours does the best with
