What is your favorite hunting load for your 300 Win Mag?

My favorite, meaning the one I use the most is 80 grains of H1000, 215M primer, Norma brass and either a 180 Ballistic Tip or Accubond. COL is 3.520", which was easy enough seeing as 3 out of 4 rifles I use it in used the same reamer. The two bullets won't shoot together.

I use that load in my Mark V that has been rebarrelled in .300 Win with a 26" 1-10" Gaillard barrel, a M700 that wears a Sendero contour, heavily fluted 1-11 26" Lilja barrel and McMillan Remington Hunter stock, a Montana Rifleman 1999 with 24" barrel and an El Cheapo, Boyd's stocked 24" Vanguard that stubbornly insists on shooting just as well as the others. Better some days.

Velocity sits at 3150 fps with the 26" barrels and 3050 with the 24's. It isn't even maximum in most manuals but is plenty warm. Long range accuracy is great, velocity spreads are next to nothing..
 
Mine was a 200 grain Speer Grand Slam, IMR 7828 powder and CCI250 primers. I can't recall the powder charge, but the load decked anything hit with it.
 
Well I sort of worked up a load for my 300 win mag today. It is an older M700 BDL SS DM. I bought some 168gr Barnes TTSX and IMR 4831. The reason I said I sort if worked up a load is because my first load worked. 71.0gr of IMR 4831 and a 168 TTSX averaged .78" for three 3 shot groups.
