[916Plinker]

Look'n for some real life reviews. Best I could find was b.c. wise for 300wm was 180 grain bt accutip rem, and 168 bt fed gold match .308

Any info would be helpful as I am just starting to get into long range.

When I shoot at 600 yard line for a match with my M-1A, I used to shoot Berger 175 grain VLD bullets with a very good result.
When Federal came out with 175 MK ammo, I tried and shot 99/100 at 600 yards without much effort. Now I shoot LC M118LR and it gave me very good results also. 195 - 199/ 200 is not uncommon score. As a matter of fact, the ammo consistently hit my spotter on the target at 300 and 600 yard lines. I ended up trading a lot of my pistol ammo for some LC M118LR ammo. Actually, now I have about 900 rounds of M118LR and about 300 rounds of M852. I am a happy man.

I trust any Federal match ammo, though.

Black Hills 175gr. SMK load
Cor-Bon 175gr. SMK load

I love my own 175gr. SMK load, but will be testing a 155gr. Berger VLD this winter.

Where do you get your LC M118LR?

Where do you get your LC M118LR?

Through various sources. The last batch I got, 800 rounds, was from another Calgunner. I gave up a lot of other ammo for it. Also I have bought a few boxes from other Calgunners occasionally. I always monitor ammo for sale section for those LC match ammo.
