Depending what you will be using the 300 for, the 165 will be fine for anything up through deer. I would recommend 180 or 200 for elk. The 165 is traveling so fast it tears up meat. I have been reloading for 20 years and load for many calibers including target rifle for long distance. I have only used my reloads for elk hunting and never had a problem.
As far as the 223, the 55 gr is best for most situations. I don't recommend it for deer. If is just too fast with no knockdown power. It great to plinking & varmits.
