bullet question

Vonflak
I know there are some long range shooters on here who also have set ups for long range hunting beyond the range in my question. My question is very simple. If you wanted to kill a caribou or elk from muzzle to 500 yards, using a 300 wsm, what bullet would you load for the job?

I'll be hand loading the bullet.

Thanks

    I have some USGI 30 cal cartridges manf. in the late 50's. The bullets are jacketed in Zinc? Silverish color like steel, magnetic, and sparks slightly. Is it Zinc?

    Is it .30-06, .308, or .30 Carbine?

    What's the headstamp say?

    ARE YOU SHURE THIS IS U.S. GI AMMO, I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS HEAD STAMP. BULLETS SOUND LIKE NICKLE PLATED STEEL.

    The ones I have are FA 38 frankford Arsenal, 1938 production. still have primer crimp and tightly crimped bullet. the jacket is non magnetic and a homogenous material all the way through to the lead core.
