[QUOTE="deadlift, post: 1063218, member: 40021"] Heres a couple thing to consider, IMO the 300 Ultra is not a good LR starter round. The 300 RUM is a monster and your learning will burn it up or get a flinch going in larger shot strings. I'd keep it and use it once you get the reloading figured out. You have a good scope, for the spotter/tripod I'd look second hand. Personally a magnetospeed and G7 rangfinder would be what I'd be saving for. On the break, stay away from bottom/cylindrical discarge breaks (Vias) they will sand blast the crap outa you and your expensive gear when prone. Pick yourself up a 6.5 creedmoor in a savage for the learning/fun shooting part. If you go to sell it later you will still get your $$ out of it, or you can re-barrel it later to suit your needs. And mostly continue to practice/use/learn the fundamentals of long range shooting, without those you will sling alot of lead w/o a ton of feedback/hits Have fun! Chris Benchmark Barrels [/QUOTE]
