Favorite caliber for rifle, good choice. What are you shooting at? Mine are used primarily for hunting and are fed a steady diet of 180-gr TSX and TTSX. That said, when the task is range work, they get 208 Amax and 175 sierra matchking hand loads. Since you have the caliber, now you need to pick the target and the shot it will most often be called upon to deal with, then go from there. Short of that, it is a good all-rounder and no one can give you much more than all-around ammo suggestions.
Last thought: don’t set up a 1000 yard gun when it MIGHT one day take a long shot. Set the gun up for the shot it will take. I see so many nitwits at the 100 yard line bragging about their 1000 yard gun that they can’t even shoot well at 1/10th that range.

Appreciate the information. It will be used for mostly hunting but I do plan on messing around with the 1000 yard mark sometime in the future. Do you see much performance or accuracy difference between the 180g TSX and TTSX?
The berger 215 hybrid is the best hunting round i have ever used. and these will defineitly be good for long range.
I don’t hunt long range so group size is less
Important than dead. That said, I don’t waste hunting bullets on range pursuits. My 300 of choice loves 175 SMKs at about 3100 FPS, if I am shooting for precision hits at range, that is my go-to. But that means exactly nothing to you; since yours will like something else. The trick is to experiment. For graveyard dead, I do TTSX, other stuff works too, but those have been sledgehammers for me on multiple continents.
