Best 300winmag factory ammo for maximizing shot distance?

[Hippy_Steve]

I don't have time to reload, but I want to push the limits of my M70 300winmag. It has a Krieger 1:9 26" SS barrel that likes Barnes LRX-BT 190g copper solids. I found this particular cartridge to be an excellent big game hunting/long range shooting crossover. I seem to have lucked out that it groups so well.

In my research, I've learned that there are a ton of variables that influence rifle harmonics, and that those harmonics are typically unique to that rifle and cartridge combination. However, I'm curious to know if there is a popular factory cartridge that long range 300winmag shooters gravitate towards. I've seen mentions of Black Hills being a go to. I also wish Prime had an offering, but I think the lack of an offering speaks more about how the 300winmag is outdated in today's world of modern precision shooting. On that note, I'm excited to see what niche the 300 PRS falls into in the coming months. Props to the guys in the ELR forum here for posting the development progress.

Hi,

For straight factory ammunition I would say it is RUAG and Nexus as my first 2 choices.

Sincerely,

The answer in short is NO. Every gun is different. No such thing as the right factory Ammo. Try a bunch out and you will find out which is better.
