I was wondering what you might think of using 212 gr ELD-X bullets for a .300 Win Mag?

Great question, I think it’d be okay. I think the AccuBond would be better on a closer range impact on an elk. I can only speak to what I saw, and with a modest start, the 212 was excellent.
Yes, I think you hit the nail on the head gerrygerry":2ulz8lam said:I would be looking at a tougher 200 gr bullet like the AccuBond, Partition Woodleigh etc for closer range myself and maybe a second more specialized load for practice and long range hunting like the Hornady bullets you mention or maybe something different like a 200 gr Sierra BT. Maybe some bullet tests are in your future?![]()

I don't leave any of them in the factory "Tupperware" plastic stock.HAWKEYESATX":2se2r6ol said:I think I will leave it as-is for now.Dr. Vette":2se2r6ol said:Are you going to leave it as-is, or swap stocks?
Did you have a stock in mind, Dr. Vette?

If I'm going to change stocks, I would get one of the Weatherby laminated stocks. I love the feel of wood, but that would almosthave the durability of a synthetic stock.Dr. Vette":1zyh1erf said:I don't leave any of them in the factory "Tupperware" plastic stock.HAWKEYESATX":1zyh1erf said:I think I will leave it as-is for now.Dr. Vette":1zyh1erf said:Are you going to leave it as-is, or swap stocks?

Most of mine wear Bell & Carlson, though I have a couple of McMillans and a couple of Weatherby laminates.
The factory stock - ANY factory plastic stock - flexes too much for me.
They get bedded and free floated in a replacement. Well, most are free floated; I think I have 3 that aren't.
That really good news to keep in mind.truck driver":1x2t3npe said:When I had my 300Weatherby S1 Vanguard I found the factory plastic stock wouldn't hold the action securely and allowed it to flex and whip in the stock to the point that it popped the front sling stud out with a bi-pod on it.
I replaced that stock with a B&C Medalist stock which has the full action metal bedding block which tamed it down quite a lot. I also experimented with floating the barrel. The B&C stock came with a molded in pressure point in the fore arm which I removed gradually as I shot 10 round groups to see if floating would affect the group size. The groups kept getting smaller with less pressure on the barrel and went from 1" groups to 1/2" groups with a fully floated barrel.
I love the feel of wood stocks but when it comes to accuracy you can hardly beat a good synthetic.
I only have one factory wood stocked rifle and the action and barrel channel is more glass then wood since it warped and I had it full length glass bedded to keep it from warping.
Thank you.Dr. Vette":aaqeclvd said:You will have to search to find a Weatherby laminate stock.
Boyd's has some designs that would likely be the closest.

Hawk I forgot to include I had a similar problem with a Ruger Hawkeye 338 Win Mag that would not group in the factory plastic stock and put that one in an H&S Precision stock which has the full bedding block and would also be one to check out.HAWKEYESATX":2nu9lzi2 said:That really good news to keep in mind.truck driver":2nu9lzi2 said:When I had my 300Weatherby S1 Vanguard I found the factory plastic stock wouldn't hold the action securely and allowed it to flex and whip in the stock to the point that it popped the front sling stud out with a bi-pod on it.
