I shoot a 300 Win. Mag. rather than the fine old 300 H&H, but I load my rifle to what are fundamentally 300 H&H velocities, or around 3050 fps. or so.

For the most part I've always used premium 180 gr. bullets in lieu of 200 gr. bullets, and I've never found them lacking in any way for elk, moose, bears, all sizes of African plainsgame (including eland), as well as (in a pinch) lion, leopard, and Cape buffalo. In every case, premium 180s have done the job in exemplary style, and I'm not exactly sure what aspect of performance would have improved by going with 200s instead............
