[QUOTE="glbhunter, post: 1401445, member: 100645"] I have a 300 RUM Rem SPS. It has had the action bedded, and barrel but still free floating so a $ bill will slide down snuggly. Rifle will be used mostly for hunting once I get to comfortable spot. Have worked up a load that works well in it: Retumbo 99.5 gr, Berger 168 VLD, Fed mag primers, Rem brass, can usually shoot a .75 moa group. My scope is a Leupold 6.5x20x50, 30mm tube, target model cost about $900 I shot last summer 100-700 with pretty good success. about 6" group 4" left because of cross wind at 700. I have 25 rounds still loaded from that group. and 75 once fired ready to go. Ok, I'll stop right here because I feel that I am passing up my knowledge on the long range shooting. At this point I feel I need to get a lot of advise from the knowledgeable group out there. I know there is a lot of info out there that I am trying to sort thru. some left me a little confused. 1- neck or full length re-sizing. 2- brass prep and cleaning. 3- rifle cleaning process. 4- do I go to yardage cams, I feel that would be good for me as the moa takes more time than you have sometimes. 5- and a lot of things I probably haven't even thought of. I am thinking of getting a ultra-sonic cleaner. [/QUOTE]
