I use Remington Premium 180gr Scirocco in my 300 Ultra and they are devastating. I have taken 3 Mule deer 2 good 4 points 22" & 24" and a small 3 point all were one shot.

One was a bad placed shot. The deer was running almost straight away. I thought it was already hit once by my hunting partner. I shot hitting it in the right rear quarter the bullet shattered the hip joint. Left a 3" round entry wound!!! from hitting that hip bone. Crossed thru the deer broke two ribs on the opposite side and them broke the left shoulder lodging under the skin on the outside shoulder. I weighed it after and I think it still weighed about 145-155grs, great weight retension for how much bone it broke.When i got too it I thought I had missed because I thought that hole was an exit, but it was the wrong angle for my companion to have hit it. After skinning the animal that was the only bullet and only hole. I was the only one to hit it. My companion shoots a 270 so it was my bullet.

I really like how they perform and my gun shoots them very well.
