I am setting up a multi-purpose Rem. .300 RUM. I plan to shoot at a local 1,000 yard range, but want something that will have the energy necessary for Elk at very long ranges. This is why I went with the ultra instead of a .308 win. I would like to shoot Open F Class. We have a local group that I would like to get associated with. I have many hobbies, if F Class would stick then I would setup another rifle.
Okay, with all that said, I would like to help with a couple of things.
1. I am purchasing a Rem. Sendero .300 Rum in the next week or so. I am told this gun should shoot (with the right ammo of course) out of the box. I plan to work on the trigger, but do you guys have any "should do's," before I start working up a load.
2. The barrel is 26" and the twist is 1 in 14". I am considering Scirocco II in 180 gr. I wonder 200 gr bullet would be better for these applications. I am a fan of Barnes ttsx bullets, but is the weight/length ratio to light for long range? Will a MatchKing perform well on big game, or will it blow a part?
3. I am looking for favorite recipes for my situation. I am looking for a slow burning, heavy bullet recipe.
