Need help with bullet selection

What are your suggestions for one factory load in 300 WSM to be used on the following animals: kudu, zebra, impala, wildebeest, warthog and blesbok? Shot ranges in this area will be 50-250 yards with 100 yards being the average.

180 grain bullet: Barnes X class, Nosler Accubond, Winchester's new replacement for their Fail Safe: XP 3 (I believe that's the name), Swift A Frame or a Trophy Bonded Bear Claw. Federal loads all but the Winchester. That's plenty of gun for the game you listed. The tough animals are the Zebra and Wildebeast. Bottom line is which bullet will your gun like? Don't skimp on bullets. A wounded and lost animal is a lost trophy fee. Good hunting, grayghost

I like the 200 grain bullets in the .300 magnums. I believe that an examination of the ballistic tables will show it to be the very best combination of trajectory and energy levels as well as having a great sectional density.

Any of the "premium" bullets that provide a 200 grain version will be the best you can do with any of the .300 magnums.
