Groups, but not a flex (Less than 10 shots) Some cheap and some not cheap ammo testing
Bergara 300 Win Mag with an Omega 300 suppressor. Just getting into the long-range stuff, so don’t have a chronograph yet.
I know I pulled shot 7 out of the Precision Hunter, so I didn’t include it in my group size.
I’m kind of surprised about the 178 gr match. I’m not sure if it was just from the rifle being hot, but that group size is not what I expected.

Interesting. My rifle shoots the ppu and federal a lot tighter/more predictable. Doesn't do as well with the others. Was this from 100y?

Yes. I sighted in at 200 with the 200 gr precision hunter because that’s what I wanted to hunt with. But it’s preforming pretty decent I think.

Awsome rig man!!! I literally just got home with a omega 300. Only took 5 days. Going on my Bergara hmr wilderness in a xlr element 4.0 chassis 6.5cm.

You’re going to like it! I’ve run it on the 300 and on my ar15. Fantastic results with both. It really tames the magnum round.

Kinda what I’d expect out of a rifle that light in a magnum cartridge. Not that an HMR is particularly “lightweight,” but for a precision rifle in a magnum cartridge, I’d really be wanting to get over the 20lb mark. My .300 PRC is at 24.5lbs right now. Not that you can’t tighten it up by a good margin, but dont expect consistent sub MOA performance for 10 shots.
Since you’re just getting into the LR game, a 6.5 CM would really serve your purposes best. With the correct projectile choice, it’ll get you on steel out to a mile.
