I bought a browning a-bolt .300WM with a 26" barrel and 4x12 leupold so hopefully some day I could shoot 1000 yrds but I can't seem to figure out what ammo to use, I have had the best luck with the cheapest federal 180gr I can find. It will do a whole lot more damage than my AR that I no longer have of course.
Just my
That's a good rifle and deserves a good scope. If you goal is to shoot 1,000 yds, I would have gone bigger than X12 magnification.
Finding the right round for specific gun can test a man's patience. If you're going to go down that rabbit hole, make sure you start by using a SOLID bench and use a SOLID gun vice. I know...we're all great shots,
but do your best to eliminate human error before you start wasting precious ammo.
