[QUOTE="VENOM1, post: 14068221, member: 23090"] Due to how many gun enthusiasts there are on this site I thought I would ask for assistance here instead of a stuck-up firearm or big game forum. Last year I purchased a Tikka T3 Ultra Lite Stainless in 300 wsm and shot Barnes TTSX 165 grain copper cored bullets. The more research that I do the more I would like to get away from a copper cored bullet and into something that is more standard, and I feel this will also help my groupings. According to research and a couple of gunsmiths that I have spoke to the Tilkka can be picky with ammunition so I am looking for opinions and what to shoot. So that you know, this is a hunting rifle for elk and deer and will be hunting in the Rockies so the average shot is about 200 yards but can be as far as triple that in some cases. I know that I can go lighter in powder for deer but think that I should up to 180-200 grain for elk. I have looked at Nosler Trophy Grade (180G), Federal Premium Trophy Bonded (180G), etc. but have NO IDEA as to how to pick a round as this is my first big game rifle I have owned. I shoot well and it is sighted in at 0 at 200 yards and have shot up to 500 yards with it as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated and sorry for ranting on. [/QUOTE]
