Fulch Report post Posted December 18, 2013 I currently use the Winchester Super Elite Xp3 180 grain for elk but the are becoming more and more difficult to find. I love the performance but as I mentioned hard to find and a little pricy but more so hard to find unless you can find a place that back ordered for 6 months. I'm about to start hunting Texas whitetail and am looking for suggestions on a 165 grain that's versatile for deer and elk so I don't have to sight in for each species. I haven't gotten into reloading, will someday but not enough spare time yet. Any suggestions are appreciate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hornady superformance the least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
