I just snagged a box of these in .30cal 180gr. Having a really hard time finding any accubonds and the sierra's seem to be more available. I'm not sure they will have accubond performance but should still be a good bullet out of a 300wsm. Has anyone had and results from harvesting elk or moose with them?
Sierra Tipped Gameking Gamechanger

I had a hard time finding 180gr game bullets this past season. I also found a box of the 180gr Sierra Tipped Gamechangers and a box of the Hornady 180gr CX. I couldn't get the CX to group at all. The Sierras would hold 1 MOA at 2950fps out of my 300WinMag. I had eyes on one bull elk for a few seconds but was unable to take a shot at him, so no actual harvesting results. I haven't deer hunted in a few years but always used 180 Gamekings in my 308 with excellent results.
Arnt they compared to ELDX rather than Accubond?
Correct
the TGK is definitely more robust than the ELDx. I haven't killed with them, but good accuracy in the ones I've shot so far.
22cal 64gr in 223, 90gr & 100gr in 6mm Creed, 130gr in 6.5cm & 6.5 PRC, 140gr in 260 Rem, 7mm 150gr & 165gr in 280AI, 30cal 165gr in 308win
Here's a couple 6.5mm 130gr TGK recovered from deer (6.5cm) from CGN hall of famer, 280_Ackley

Nothing wrong with those ! JMO RJ
Have harvested many mule and whitetail with a 6mm AI and a 90 gr TGK @3500 FPS, all were down on the spot except one that went 20 yards. Also take dozens of coyotes and one antelope. I'd have no issue using them on a 30 cal. Easy to load and tune.

Oh wow thanks for that photo, that looks great. I plan to load some up for the 300wsm and with any luck I will be able to test on moose this fall.
cores about to pop on those 
I'm running the 90gr Tipped Game king at 3410fps out of my 243 Ackley.
The 2 deer and 2 antelope I've shot with it didnt complain at all.
My assumption is that the 180gr 30 cal will also be a very good bullet, though not as tough as an Accubond.
Well I got some load development done with the tipped gameking, load development might be a stretch because the first 3 powder charges I tested all produced sub moa groups with H4350. I am not sure why but my old nosler accubond load is shooting piss poor out of this rifle, I used to have excellent groups and now it seems to not like them, maybe I got a bad box or something but it is strange. Anyway I will be loading the 180 tipped gameking for moose hunting this fall.
