Best factory ammo for Rem 700 XCR 300 Win Mag

[Milsurp1]

I have decided that I do not have the time or patience to reload right now. I would appreciate any one else's experience using factory ammo in a 700 XCR 300 Win Mag; brands, weights, and if possible approximate year it was used. I don't care about obtaining world record accuracy, only to have some fun at the range once a month. I'll be starting at 300-500 yards but gradually attempting longer shots.

Not sure how precise you desire or your budget limits but take a look at these "match" loadings:

Federal GM300WM (190gr HPBT)
Black Hills 190gr HPBT
Hornady 195gr HPBT

They've all worked well through a 700P with a 26" 1 in 10 twist barrel.

Black Hills and Hornady have a 178 gr ELD round as well but I haven't tried either but could be interesting.

The Federal and Black Hills tend to run around $45/20. Midway has the Hornady on sale for about $35/20.

Federal gold medal match for sure,
