I've been collecting equipment/supplies/knowledge over the past few months. First I'd like to say thanks to all the great SN members who have helped me along, I've really learned a lot in the past few months.

My initial plan was to do OCW test, but I've come to realize that I am not a good enough shot for that. So I just loaded up 20 rounds with 74gr H1000 under a 208 gr A-MAX.

I was really happy with how they shot. At 100 yards, i got several 0.5" 3 groups, and my 5 shot groups opened up a bit to around 1". I'm fairly confident this was just my shooting abilities and me getting excited and/or tired. Overall I'm really happy with how everything went, even without getting the 'best' charge weight.

Edit: Forgot to mention, the gun was a Remington 700 Police, basically stock, Harris bipod, SWFA SS fixed 10x.
 
I had a police. It was my favorite 300 WinMag That I have ever had. Outshot several GA Precision's with a 208AMax and 72.5 grains Reloader 22. This was at 1200 yards. Damn I miss that rifle. Mine only had a break and a trigger job.
 
I must say I'm quite a fan of it. I was trying to go for the most bang for the buck and wanted something that would get me shooting right away. I'm running mine bone stock, hoping to get a break and a trigger soon, but saving up for a 308 gas gun :D. I initially shot Winchester crap ammo (only way to get brass these days it seems) and it was all over the paper. It was really good to see the gun shoot today.
