Madison, Ms
I pick up my new rifle build friday. It's a trued up rem 700, bedded, with a 30" broughton 5c 5.75 contour with a vais break and Jewell trigger. Hs stock.

I wanna run the big boys. 215, 225 hornady, 230 Berger.
Powders I have h1000, r22, h4350, r25, h4831, retumbo, hybrid 100v, imr 7828,

For the 230's I was thinking retumbo. Got a ton of 208 amaxs as well. Probably r22.

Plans are to make this a 1 mile rifle. I've already looked at the depot but couldn't find what I was looking for. What would you fellows run??
