[QUOTE="winmag, post: 410440, member: 22166"] I roll my own as well, for reasons already mentioned. As far as factory ammo goes, Id check out; 1. Federal Fusion-270 (dont know if they make 300wby) 2. Hornady Custom for the 300wby, and Hornady Superformance for the 270 3. Nosler Custom-Accubonds rock! (My favorite bullets to load so far in my 270wsm, and will be trying them out in my 300wby soon) 4.Weatherby (green lable) for the 300wby 5. HSM, if you like Berger Bullets. (Youll want to know some things about your rifle before going this route tho) In short you may go thru alot of boxes trying to find ''the one'' that shoots the best out of your rifle. And when you do, buying the whole lott as mentioned before is in your best intrest. That same amount of $ could go for loading equipment that can custom tailor ammo to your rifle, and take alot of the variables out of the equasion. Im alot like you as far as long range shooting/hunting goes.(Im now comfy to 600 on critters, but practice to 850 to get better) Ive extended my comfort zone considerably with ''roll your own's'' and my personal ability as well. But I still suck at doping the wind. So when it comes to the full on LOOOOOOONG range stuff that alot of guys here can do Im left in the dust. I wish I had the $$ for a custom rig that would help me do some of this amazing shooting. But in reality, I hunt VERY steep country, and theres no way Im gonna pack a 12-15 lb tack driver rifle where I hunt. Dont get me wrong, Id love to have one someday, but it just doesnt fit my current style of hunting. So I make the best of what Ive got, and tailor my own ammo to each rifle. Good luckgun) [/QUOTE]
