I posted this on the ammo page but may get more experienced answers here?
I have two Nolser M48 Liberty's to select from.
1) 300 win mag with 180gr. partitions (it likes the federal offering)
2) 280AI 150 gr. LR Accubonds.
*is the 150gr. enough on for elk? I know placement is everything
I shoot both pretty well. Will be practicing more at longer ranges with both before October.
Both set up identical on top (20moa Larue Rail / Larue 30mm rings / Leica ER5 2-10x50's with mag ballistic reticles).
The 300 win mag has a break (for adding a suppressor) and a spacer in the butt to add length of pull (which I regret doing as I don't think it was that beneficial for hunting applications due to different shooting positions).
I tend to lean to the 280AI because it's lighter.
Which would you take?
