223 200/300 varmint for sure bullets

[Cory porter]

I’m setting up a savage with a dual port action, lrpv 7 twist barrel and a benchrest stock for shooting 200/300 factory class varmint for score matches and possible an occasional ibs factory match.

So far I am at Lapua Brass, cci 450s, Whidden click adjust die and Redding micro seater.

What bullet and loads would be recommended for there matches and distances. Don’t need to shoot more than 300.

I got it used and the guy I got it from said started load work with 73g Berger’s, I thought about those, 70g Nosler RDF or maybe 75g amax

Slightly different, but i shoot a Tikka T3 with a 1/8t, used 77 Nosler CC with Varget and cci 450's, shot great at 300 for a factory, ended up using 75gr Amax worked better, couldn't get any of the 73 Bergers over here

200 to 300 yds, anytime you can stabilize will work on pd''s. I would suggest 75 A MAX as a good choice.

Cory, don’t over look Berger’s 80 & 82 gr. for what you are settling it up for.
Very good at two & three hundred yards.

I generally go with 75 because of the cheaper price to kill a prairie dog.

I think he is asking for a varmint match bullet.

If you want to win you might follow in the steps of an 8 year old. Recipe is a couple screens down:

I wasn't there but I live just a short distance away and it was quite breezy that day.
