[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 892839, member: 11717"] I wouldn't count on HSM ammo to shoot any better than Fed Blue Box, but you can get high BC bullets with HSM. I'm going to be completely honest here and say that IMO, you would be better off selling the NIB Rem and putting that toward a custom build. I would not count on a factory Rem with factory sporter barrel to give you good accuracy at long ranges. It might, but the odds are against it. That probably sounds terrible with the gun coming from your Grandma and all but you can tell Grandma that you're using your resources for the best outcome. Also, using the 30-06 on game out to 800 yds is probably a bit of a stretch, especially with factory ammo. If you want reliable and consistent LR shooting ability, you really need to start reloading. Best of luck [/QUOTE]
