Average Grain Bullet?

[jaymark6655]

Hmmm. I am picking up a .300 WSM this week and am trying to decide between the 165 grains and 180 grains. I have been looking at the barnes, and have heard that the noslers dont cycle well. although the noslers shoot great (from what I have heard). What brand makes the interlocks? Federal?

Hornady makes interlock, not sure if that name is uniqe to them though.  They are suppose to retain over 90% of the weight after hitting game.

Interlocks and Interbonds are made by Hornady.  Interbonds retain 90%+, Interlocks do not.

  He is right.  I meant to say I might be switching to 180 gr interbonds, not the interlocks.

I shoot 165 gr BTSPs in my aught six for everything. That's what shoots best in my gun. I'm more interested in accuracy than I am in a little more bullet weight, even for larger sized game.
