Doesn't have to be match ammo. - I'd like to keep the recoil as low as possible with out putting a brake on. Add 2lbs to the 14lb...have a nightforce ready. I've owned a 300win mag and 300 RUM so I'm used to some kick. -I'm also a fan of barnes triple shocks...I would like to use these for shorter shots out to 300-500 yards. - I want it to be flat shooting as possible.
