I finally broke down and bought myself a new toy. I got the Savage 111 Long Range Hunter and topped it with a Nightforce. I didn't buy it to become an official "long range shooter", I just love the performance I've seen from this caliber guiding hunters that I just had to get one. I wanted a weapon that'd knock 'em down and keep 'em down at distances I know I'm capable of reaching effectively like 800 yards, but further if needed. I'm not one to purposely take long shots, most are around 300 yds or less. Having said that, I'm not interested in shooting the 300gr super high BC projectiles, I'm hoping to stay with 250's. I'm trying to decide between the factory loads from Lapua, Norma or Hornaday. I hear Hornaday brass can be an issue in some rifles, but for $75 a box, I'm not worried about keeping it.
Any ideas or suggestions out there?
