.300 win mag factory ammo suggestions

There are so many great bullets on the market these days, it's hard to go wrong with several choices.
If I were you, I would select a couple different bullet types and let my rifle tell me which bullet you should be using. Also, don't forget to try different weight sizes. Make sure you use a good constructed bullet like the TTSX, LRX, Partition, Accubond, Swift A-Frame, Norma Oryx, etc. Lots of different options and weights to choose from. I personally would stick with bullet weights in the 165 to 200 grain range depending on the bullet type.
For me, I hand load all of my bullets, which currently is the 175 gr Barnes LRX. Super accurate and amazing performance on game. Based on this information, I'd likely look at the Barnes offerings first, with Nosler and Swift running a very close second.
Good luck and remember to let the rifle tell you what it likes, not what you want it to like!

I'm new to the .300 this year but my sake AV is really partial to the hornady superformance 165 gmx.
I've taken 2 animals so far with excellent results. A caribou at 624 yards and an antelope at about 350. Both 1 shot pass through shots with substantial internal damage.

I would let my rifle decide what grain bullet. My .300 won?t shoot the long bullets like accubonds worth a damn, the magazine is too short. The best shooting bullet I?ve found for it is the 200 gr Speer grand slam, they actually get tight to the lands. If I were to buy factory loads I would start with the deadliest mushroom in the woods. If the shoot -1? @100 I would go with that, no reason to get all fancy to kill an elk.
