I like the idea of really knowing one's rifle/load, like the old saying "beware the man with one gun - he probably knows how to use it." I would like to develop one do-it-all load for my .300WM.
I've started developing loads with 180 gr. Nosler BT, Hornady SST, and SGK, but now I realize that these bullets may not be the best choice for game larger than whitetail deer.
So, if you were going to develop one do-it-all load for a .300WM, which bullet and weight would you choose and why? My criteria in order of importance are:
1. Terminal performance
2. Accuracy
3. Trajectory
4. Cost
TP and accuracy are probably of equal importance to me. I'm not really worried about cost. It may be expensive to develop a load, but after that a quality bullet that performs as required is worth the money.
Thanks.
