[QUOTE="redneckbmxer24, post: 3028496, member: 11459"] I have to question how many people around here actually shoot long range by some of these recommendations and how they would actually perform at distance with factory ammo. I've shot ELR a good bit and my favorite for it has been 300WM and IMO it's at the top when talking ELR with factory ammo. I had a 300NM barrel too and I've have several custom RUM's and you really need to load with those. With 300WM even the 190FGMM does alright, it's not the load I'd take to a ELR match but I got hits at 2300 yards with it at Arena and it's not very expensive. At one point I was getting it for about $25/box but I'm sure that's not the case anymore. The Berger 215gr Hybrid ammo does better though, I shot some of that and the 215 is what I loaded and shot a lot of. There are a lot of factory match ammo options for the 300WM. 300PRC has a good bit of factory ammo options out there too and people seem to like it. I don't have any experience with it though so beyond that I can't say one way or another how it performs with factory ammo at distance but I'd consider it. [/QUOTE]
