[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2893383, member: 5219"] 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,[B] it is not the best platform for the long range crowd[/B], 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.
