In a world where ammo is hard to come by, I might be in search of something that I can't get.
Like most of us here, I'm looking for a good round with above standard terminal ballistics and a relatively good BC. However, I do realize you usually give up one for the other. Ideally I'd like to start out with a factory round, the start to build from that myself when primers and powder become more available again.
I will primarily use this as a hunting rifle but I do enjoy reaching out when shooting steel. I'd prefer the bullet to preform well and expand at a range from anywhere between 75 and 400 yards as I hunt in a variety of environments fairly regularly.
This rifle has a 22" barrel and a 1:10 twist.
This is my first of either a 300wm or 300wsm so any advice or knowledge from your experiences would be greatly appreciated. Factory or hand loads.
