Right now, I've been using 180 grain Nosler Partitions and 200 grain North Forks. Those North Forks just shoot so good out my M70 and the terminal performance has been outstanding that it is hard to use something else. However, if you are looking for a hunting bullet for shots well past 300 yards, AND for use on large plainsgame/elk sized critters, I'd go with the Barnes TSX. Honestly, if you run trajectory charts and have a 200 or 250 yard zero, you won't notice a tremendous amount of difference between the North Fork and a more aerodynamic bullet. But, shooting that far out one needs to stack the odds in your favor. I'd go with TSX because of its integrity and performance as a hunting bullet and its shape to slip the wind.

I'm sure the GS Custom bullets would be an ideal candidate too. Does anyone know if Gina or Gerard or whomever it was, has got their shipping issues cleared up? They would probably be a great choice if you can actually get them in your hands to load. GS is a small South African company.

I just can't trust the Accubonds until all the complaints are sorted out. The MRX might be a good one, but I think Barnes has just released some in .308" in the past few weeks. Too early for me to try out on any game animals, I don't want to be the person to field test the bullets if the hunting is on my coin.

I've heard a lot of good reports from guys shooting the LRB J36 bullet, but they are expensive.

To put my money where my mouth is, after I get back into the game after surgery, I'm going to be working up some TSX loads for my 300 H&H for sheep hunting, maybe to carry to the Pamirs.
