For shooting 400-500 yards? Bolt action Savage. We have been using bulk Federal 55g for up to 330Y. However, thinking we need to look at little heavier grain.
What do you use?

What's the twist rate?
Remmy 1/9 20" loves 69 gr. SMK's, heavier or lighter not so much.

75gr Hornady BTHP with a 9 twist Savage barrel; Steel Match is fairly inexpensive if you don't reload and 24-24.5gr Varget will get you around 2850-2900fps with a 26" barrel if you do reload.

75gr Black Hills Match BTHP through a 20" with 8.75 twist has been working very well for me. Haven't stretched out to that yardage yet but with I am seeing, don't think it would have any problems getting there.
