Can anyone recommend me a commercially available load for precision/long range 300 win mag?
I have a 700 with 26" 5R barrel, suppressed. And I have the .338 LM magazines for it so it'll take larger OAL cartridges. But it's still a 1:10 twist.
I'm new to long range, mostly shoot at 100 now. Found a local range that's 300 and hoping to eventually get out beyond 500, and my goal is ultimately 1000.
For handloading I'd like to get into 230 gr SMK's eventually, but for now I'd like to get something (on the affordable side) I can start running with.
I saw that Freedom Munitions has their Mk248 Mod 2, which clearly not to the military spec (220 gr Nosler @ 2650). The price is right at $2.50/Rd, but that seems slow to me! Plus Freedoms great reputation and all.....
Next I'm eyeing up Sigs Elite 190 gr OTM. Roughly $2.25/Rd, I estimate it to go transonic (I think that's the correct term) around 1069 yards. This is with a calculator. Not ideal but would work for me for now.
Anyone have any other ideas?
I do have a press, does, and brass. I'd like to get some experience behind the gun with decent ammo before I start trying load my own.
Thanks
