My son has acquired a rem 700 in 300 wsm from a friend a lady that husband passed. He missed out on a couple 308’s but again it was a gift ! So he wants to sight in and hunt with it. I’m willing to put leupold scope on it if he buys ammo. I can not tolerate recoil but he is young and excited about the gift. In my eyes i see a barrel burner and a ridiculous cost of ammo but rifle was free. So that’s what I’m working with and i expect him to buy enough factory ammo just for the brass and to sight in. My questions are - if he will hunt whitetail in NC then what bullet and powder ? I have 4350 and am thinking 150 165 gr unless something else suggested. Rifle has a factory break that I’m not looking forward to listening to while he sights in ! Regardless i want to help him produce enough rounds to sight in and have enough to hunt with. Way overkill for around here but again free rifle. Any suggestions appreciated
