Hey guys, from Australia.
I have a Remington Model 700 PCR
24" Barrel, 1 in 10" Twist 5R
Still need to find out and measure what my maximum C.O.L. can be.
Looking to be loading up some fireformed cases with a few of the following rounds for testing.
BRASS: Currently have 200 Hornady fire formed cases. Might try Lapua Brass at some stage.
POWDER: RL-17
PRIMERS: CCI Large Rifle
BULLETS:
Sierra 200GR BTHP MatchKing
Hornady 220GR ELD-X
Hornady 225GR ELD-Match (Concerned that I need a faster twist rate.)
Sierra 230GR BTHP MatchKing (Concerned that I need a faster twist rate.)
Has anyone tried some of the Sierra bullets with the "27 caliber elongated ogive"? Was wondering how well it works.

Reason I am looking at ELD-X rounds is because the 178GR ELD-X factory rounds are giving me 1/2 MOA. So I am looking at the heavier rounds for my twist rate and also for the High BC and Sectional Density.
Was just wondering if I could please get some advice on the subject as I am new to reloading. Looking to load develope an accurate round to eventually walk out to 1000 Yards.
