Just picked up a browning x bolt mountain pro. Narrowed Ammo down to the Hornady ELDX 178 or 200grain, Federal Terminal ascent 200 grain.

However Ive used bergers in the past and loved those, does massive damage and accurate, Federal has a berger hybrid in 185 grains. Always barnes 165 grain federals as well, just seen buddies not shoot well with those.

Hunting is 3-500 yards with shots out to 700 yards. I do have a dial. On m WSM it shot well with 168 grains, but reading 200 grains in the win mag might be better.

Also I live in NY i can not get ammo shipped here, and ammo is limited in the area, I dont have the time to play around with tons of ammo, and want something that easily found. Right now the ELDX seem to shoot good in everything Ive read and can find them.
