Seems like all brass is tough to acquire. Plan ahead and wait for it show is the norm these days.
Regarding this: "The .300WSM is a great cartridge. I've got a few and they shoot great, especially for hunting. But, due to the design,
it is not the best platform for the long range crowd, which is what is getting all the attention right now.."
I know one 1000 yd BR shooter that used a 300 WSM and did quite well with it:
New 1,000 Yard World Record Set With Berger Bullets
Congratulations to Charles Greer on setting TWO new world records for 1,000 yard benchrest shooting!
Charles' record has now been officially recognized by the NBRSA after being thoroughly measured and scrutinized by officials. On February 13, 2021, during the Saguaro 1,000 yard benchrest match at the Tucson Rifle Club in Three Points, AZ, Charles shot the amazing group you can see in the target pictured here.
The official records Charles set are:
- 1,000-Yard Heavy Gun 10-Shot Group of 2.6566", which beat the previous record of 3.650" established by Tim Height in 2019.
- 1,000-Yard Heavy Gun 10-Shot Score, a perfect 100-10X, eclipsing the long standing 100-6X set by Bill Schrader in 2005.
Charles shared with us, "I've used Berger Bullets in my 30 caliber target rifles exclusively and very successfully since 2008. I set four other 1,000-yard world records, two of which are still standing, shooting Berger 30 caliber 210 Grain VLD Target bullets. Currently, I use only the 220 Grain Long Range Hybrid Target bullets. It's a bullet without a ballistic equal in its weight class. Berger's are the best!"
===========================
Chuck was shooting his .300 WSM Heavy Gun with Borden action, Krieger barrel, and Berger 220gr Hybrids. The event was hosted by the Sahuaro 1000 Yard Benchrest Club, at Three Points Range, outside Tucson, Arizona.
==============
"Greer's .300 WSM can rightfully lay claim to being the most accurate 1000-yard gun in history."
