[QUOTE="AtownBcat, post: 267645, member: 15385"] Im sure every newbie shows up with this question, but I thought since the details for everyone is a little different....well you get it. I am a hunter first but am very interested in starting to compete in long range shoots. What i have so far is: A HS presicion stock, Im having a kreiger barrel made. Kreiger is doing a level 2 truing of the action and the barrel install. I have a badger rail and rings.Remington long action with a mag bolt face. I hope to have a nightforce 5-22 by the time the gun in ready..(14 weeks...ouch i have found since i placed the order there are faster ways to get this done but since the order has been placed i haven't made any changes) I also have a new Holland radial brake. So here is the question I have been leaning toward a 300WM mainly because that what i have been hunting with. Would the 300 RUM be a better choice. I have very limited knowledge about what the numbers really mean...what does a few FPS really get you. There are factors that i may not even know about yet and know that you guys will point me in the right direction...Also i will have to start with factory ammo until i can get the stuff to reload....sorry this is so long.
