I think berger 215/230's, H1000 are pretty common. Throw it in some lapua brass and some CCI primers or the like.

After looking around what about the hornady ELD 208gr.  Seemed to have the best BC for the buck.  I just have a budget and at half the price of Bergers.  I think I'll go with nosler brass.

210 Berger VLD, H1000, Federal 215M

I tried 215 grain VLDs with dismal results, but plan to try 230s soon.

I'm still testing but so far I've seen good results with 200gr hornady ELD-X and 77.0gr H1000 seated .02 off lands....hornady brass.

4-shot groups are 0.7"-0.8" @ 200yds running 2890fps out of a bartlein 23" 10 twist.

I've read these bullets shoot better with more jump. Can anyone confirm that?

Just getting ready to build one wondering if anyone is running 8 or 9 twist ?

Because of the higher velocities generated by the .300 WM a 1/10 twist will easily stabilize every bullet with the possible exception of the 240 grainers.
