Howdy!
Just ordered a brand new 300 win mag for myself and I'm looking at what to feed it (factory only). Going through all the ammo manufacturer's website is a bit of a pain though. I was wondering, other than federal and Norma, does anyone knows who else uses the Nosler Partition bullets (180gr)?

Winchester, Remington and Hornady are all out. Norma, Nosler and Federal seem to have something to offer (might not be available locally, but that's a different story).

I will probably start with some core-lokt or something along those lines for sighting in and practice, but I would want a premium bullet for hunting. Once tried Horday supraperformance in my 30-06 and was not impressed. Same goes for GMX based ammo.

Cheers!

Sight in with the ammo you are going to hunt with... Practice? Who needs to practice with a .300 Magnum?
 
Don’t get hung up on NP bullets.
They aren’t the be all and end all they are cracked up to be.
Do some research and you might find better options than a slug that is designed to shed its frontal area on game.
Nosler Partitions have killed boatloads of game but there are other options out there in factory form.
 
Try the 180 accubond. No sense shooting a fast 30 with a lower bc bullet imo. Accubonds have performed beautifully on moose Elk dear and bear for me
 
All my bench time is with my 300 win mag is with 180 grain federal blue box ammo. I hunt with Sako Super Hammerheads. That being said, I have killed a few bruins with the blue box ammo with no evidence of bad results. . . .
I have also messed around with Winchester Expedition big game bullets. Didn't group quite as nice as the federal or sako.

Those were going to be my second choice! Will have to see if the rifle likes them or not. Glad to see that they had good performance on game though, that's great news!

@stubblejumper: Absolutely agree with you.

I would recommend you start reloading. Doesn't take long to pay off a basic setup when you're talking about premium hunting ammunition in 300 win mag.
 
I am intrigued by the whole reloading thing, but it just seems like way too much work. All the handling of the cases and all seems very tedious.

Maybe one day I will be tempted, but for now I'll stick with factory ammo.

Thanks! David
