[QUOTE="jcann, post: 1460321, member: 37453"] I thought you were building this for a customer in Pennsylvania? Why not use the same bullets you used to kill the deer at 1,862 yards? [URL]https://www.okshooters.com/threads/building-a-long-range-rifle-in-300-jr.258558/page-2[/URL] This rifle is being built for a customer in Pennsylvania... Customer plans on testing/shooting the following bullets: Sierra 165 gr. B.T. Spitzer Hornady 168 gr. A-MAX Hornady 178 gr. A-MAX Sierra 180 gr. B.T. Spitzer On average, the 300 Jr. bests the 30-06 by 300+ fps... Since I will only chamber for this cartridge in a 30" or longer barrel, 110 gr. bullets can easily be pushed 4,000 fps. and 125 gr. Ballistic Tip bullets exceed 3,600 fps. for those that want a light and fast varmint round... This round shoots "1" powder faster and more accurately than all powders tested - IMR-4350... Starting loads for the 300 Jr. are from loading manual listed maximum loads for the 30-06... [/QUOTE]
