My home country is Spain but now I’m in Switzerland, maybe that makes the selection of bigger. I guess I can access to all the usual bullet. Maybe some of the “specials” you say. What bullet would you use for a mile with the 1:10?

That is a lot of stuff my friend. Sounds like you are really proficient with it. Any other suggestions regarding bullets to shoot 1 mile or above with the 300WM 1:10?

That one is very far away from me, but thanks. It may be for sure another closer to Zurich.

Thank you for your excellent answer! I always wanted to try the HPBT 230gr, but due to stability reasons it requires 1:8 twist and it was impossible for me to find a 300WM with such twist. I’ve never tried HPBT 220 gr either. Do you think that 1:10 twist is enough? It doesn’t make sense to go...

Good morning, I’m thinking of the possibility to test this bullets, the Sierra HPBT 190 gr in my 300WM rifle for long range shooting. What experience do you have with their accuracy? What is the maximum distance you have shot with it? Thanks!

Good morning folks I have moved recently to Switzerland. Can anyone tell me where can I find a shooting range or a place where I can shoot at 1000 yards with my rifle? I live close to Zurich Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, what do you think about Hornady 285 gr. ELD Match for .338 cal? Good results with it for long range?

I have been trying options in the Berger bullet stability calculator and for the 230 gr bullet (the best BC of Sierra) I need the 1:8 twist, but I am having a lot of problems to find the rifle with that twist. All the rifles I have found are in 1:10, and that's not enough for heavy bullets with...

What model? More opinions about this one compared with the others?

Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant. So what twist and velocity do you recommend?

Thanks for you answers. And what opinion do you have about using 300WM with bullets SMK HPBT 230 gr? They have a G7 ballistic coefficient of .800

Hi guys I’m trying to buy a new rifle to shoot targets at 1600 yards or more. But I don’t want to spend more than 1500 dolars in the rifle. I was thinking of Bergara B14 HMR or Tikka T3. Which one do you think is more accurate? Do you have any other recommendations? I need one with fast twist to...

My barrel length is 24". I have exactly the same rifle that you have. For me 175gr Matchking worked extremely well in accuracy, but my most accurate load was overpressured and I had problems opening the bolt. So I discard it. Did you have better results with 175 Matchking or with 175 Tipped...

Actually I have to say that the load with Sierra 168 HPBT was extremely good. At 600 yards I competed with custom F-class rifles and I did better than half of them. And at 1000 yards I know the accuracy was very good, because I was previously trying the load shooting stones at 1000 yards with...

That's the problem. The options here are not very much. I have different kinds of bullets, but only RS and Vihtavuori powder. The twist is 1:11,25. So 195gr bullets were not stable. Maybe I should try Sierra TMK 175gr, what do you think about it?
