Browning A bolt 300 Win Mag

[Bunk39]

I'm trying to help out a buddy. He's got lots of experience hunting but really doesn't understand the science of shooting. Anyway, for whatever reason, he moved in to an A bolt in 300 WinMag. Could anybody suggest a hunting ammo weight/brand for this combo?
Thanks

He will need to try several to find what the gun likes. 5 different A Bolts might like 5 different bullets.

I'd start here -

I have a Savage 111 in .300WinMag. So far I've only shot Remington 180g CoreLokt out of it. No problems, quite accurate.
Seems to me with the power available a 180g bullet is the way to go.

I shoot a Remington BDL model 700 300 win mag. I shoot 150 grain Hornady. I have killed about 10 whitetail deer with it and never had one take another step after I shot.

I run 180's through mine, takes the whole tracking part out of the equation!

I'm not saying it's the same rifle by a long shot but, I shoot a Browning Xbolt in 300 win mag. So, take any suggestion as just that I make as just suggestions but, they are both Brownings with 26" barrels and, are almost too fun too shoot. I do like 300 win mag.

My rifle ikes Hornady GMX 165's for a smaller load (for hunting in Texas for whitetails or hogs up to 300 lbs). If i wanted something heavier (like Mule deer or Elk) I have some Federal Safari, nosler partician, 180gr's that shoot pretty good. My rifle doesn't care so much for any of the Remington or Winchester ammo I tried.

Now, I know it's a burden but, you can tell you're friend that he's going to have to go to the range and try multiple brands of ammo and compare for his rifle - I know how tough that is!!

Good luck and give us a range report.
