So I have decided for my one mile shooting I am gonna can the Creedmoor I'm favor of something more powerful. I have decided that the 338 Lapua Magnum should fit my needs.
I have also decided on the rifle I am going to Purchase to start with. A Savage 110 Elite Precision. The choice for the Savage over others available is simple. Price, and a 30 inch barrel. I figure I should be able to launch bullets at a higher velocity with the extra barrel length. 6" more barrel that a Savage Precision and 4 inches more barrel than a RPR.
The bullet I am figuring on is the Berger 300 grain OTM Tactical bullet.
With the Hornady Advanced DOF calculator. If I can get that bullet to 2900 fps. I will be just entering the transonic range at one mile.
So I pose two questions to this forum. To hit 2900 fps in a 30 inch barrel, what powder should I start with?
Also, I am really considering either the Vortex Razor AMG, or the Leupold Mark 5 HD to go on top. I know Optics are not for this forum, but wanted to limit to one post so commenters would know the context for the question I was posing.
