This new to me Remington 700 Classic is really growing on me, and could end up as my primary big game (plains game in Africa) rifle. It is not really a 300 Win Mag competitor, more a 30-06 on steroids. So far, my best groups are with Hornady ELD-X 178 gr and good old Speer Hot-Cor 200 gr flat base. My old standby SGK 180s are close. Best groups are just inside an inch at 100. The 180s are running 2,950 with Std<10. The 200s are at 2,800, Std in the teens.
I am about to work up some Nosler Accubond and Woodleigh Weldcore 180s, which I expect to compete well. Any experience you can share on these would be appreciated. I have yet to work up Berger VLD Hunting 168 gr. (#30510) and Hornady's ELD-X 212, and I really don't know what to expect with them. Any advice?
