im new to rifles and shooting. bought my 1st rifle remington model 700 tactical .308 10:1 20 in barrel. im gonna use it for rec shooting and longer range hunting. i have shot off the shelf ammo through it 20 rnds, but every one i have talked to says "shoot better ammo" but no one has told me what i should be shooting. its all stock i hope to build one soon. thanks for your help

Try different brands of match grade ammo. With the 10 twist your rifle has you can shoot any bullet weight.

How far is long range to you?

Federal Gold Medal Match will show you how your rifle does most of the time. As long as you're doing your part.

I didn't realize they make the 700 tactical with a 20" barrel with a 1:10 twist, thought it was only a 1:12?

PM FCS Here on the hide. He is McCourt Munitions and can direct you to the best ammo for any buck you will find. He'll take excellent care of you.
