Going to keep the 300 WSM Fn and see what she can do.

Also keeping the remmy 700 in 308, but may rebarrel to 260 after a bit.

I'm going to shoot a bit tomorrow, and see what happens.

For targets, have you looked into the 155 Lapua Scenars, high BC and lightweight so you can push them fast.

Jason,

I've heard the Scenars are poor hunting bullets, although great competition bullets.

I'm trying to develop a load that can be used for hunting as well as plinking/competition.

I just bought 900+ Sierra BTHP 168 grain bullets, so I may try to make a matching 168 TTSX round.

In reality, I think Blaine's suggestion of Sierra match and gameking bullets may be the easiest solution. I'll order up a few hundred 165 gamekings and see what that offers.
