Take a long hard look at the ballistics of the 200 grain bullets in the .300 Win.
I think a 200 grain Nosler Partition probably provides as much killing power at both short and long range as you can get from the cartridge. Mine shoots them well, so I have stopped experimenting.
There will be some other bullets that work as well, so find a premium 200 grain bullet that shoots well in your rilfe and then use it with complete confidence on anything in North America.
I use premium bullets because at close range you don't want it to fragment, and at long range you want reliable expansion. Both characteristics in one bullet do not come cheaply. As Rocky says, though, the cost of a bullet is very small insurance compared to the cost of a hunt.
