    Buddy wants one rifle for everything...?

    I've got a lovely stainless Savage 12 with a nice stock, barrel, and scope in 300 WSM that would suit his needs.

    Why/How do you pick the projectile to build your load around?

    I'm with Kurt. I look for the highest BC bullet that I can expect to push to 2800 fps or so. I prefer the ELDs for game because they just flat out work for anchoring shots out on the open country of eastern MT.

    RAMSHOT LRT POWDER

    For me, a max charge of 87.7grains pushed a 225gr ELD to 2999fps 12 SD 24 ES from a 28 inch barrel.

    Double post.

    30 Nosler vs 300WM vs 300PRC

    Hard to go wrong with any of them. I like the PRC cartridge design better than the others but proper action length and gunsmithing you're looking at splitting hairs. Like others have already mentioned 300WM brass, dies, and ammo are more available than the other two options.

    Ramshot LRT Powder Info

    SD 9 ES 19 28" bbl Hornady Brass Probably needs some depth tuning to tighten things up further. 87.7 gave me 2989 fps 12 SD 24 ES and that's a max load according to Ramshot, could probably go higher but I'm not that adventurous.

    Norma Brass

    Wow. I ordered a bag of 250 300 WSM Norma brass about 5 years back and none of it looked like that.

    Ramshot LRT Powder Info

    This is also a good powder for the 300 PRC with heavy bullets. This is a 5 round string at 620 yards, 87.5 grains pushing 225 ELDs yielded 2932 fps. I plan on trying it with the 245 burgers soon.

    .224 Cartridge AR-15 Options - Long Range Target and Varmint

    I feel ya, man. I was also an early adopter of the Valkyrie, despite my better judgment. I just had to concede that the 224 Valk will never fit my needs and moved on. On the other hand, I had good results with 75-80 grain bullets at velocities around 2800-2900 fps. The accuracy was super picky...

    Savage 12 300 WSM

    I am unsure of the stock manufacturer. It appears to be some sort of molded composite with pillars and a Decelerator recoil pad. This is actually a rather unusual piece that I got from an estate sale, it was a BVSS but had a factory installed brake and the composite stock. I do not know if it...

    Savage 12 300 WSM

    Savage 12 chambered in 300 WSM, top bolt release, blind magazine. I re-barreled this last August and haven't shot it much since. I forget the barrel make but it's either a Brux or a Hart 28" SAAMI chamber 1-10 twist. $800 for just the rifle and 20moa rail. Dies and brass available as well. Let...
