300 SMK?

What do you intend to use it for?

Which shoots the best in that rifle?

I have only used the 265 Long Range Accubond on game, and that was only one time. The bullet performed well at 624ish yards on a mature Red Stag, but since the shot was placed well, most bullets would work too. One and done.

Aim is to shoot to 1200yards , just accumulating components atm rifle is still being built , need a starting point im leaning towards a 300grain projectile I like and can get accubonds atm, I’ve had mixed results with Bergers so I’m starting somewhere different this time

The 300 grain Sierra Match King has been a long time favorite with the Edge.
1200 yards shouldn't be a issue on steel with the 338 Edge

The one who made the Edge popular to me back in the day was Shawn Carlock.
Find his forum posts and articles on longrangehunting.com and you will find a lot of good info.
Just one link I quickly found

300 in Berger or Sierra, which ever is most accurate......

It’s for a hunting setup not really after what brand , more so which is the better weight in the edge at that distance I notice the BC isn’t that much better in the 300 and I’m not sure in the difference of drop
