If 300 yards was maximum range I wouldn’t consider the last 2 you listed.

Shooting fundamentals, practice,and patience.

I’m gonna enjoy my reloading stuff until the day I die. What my kids do with it after I’m gonna is own them. It’s only stuff.

That’s your opinion, and I can respect that. I happened to see things totally different. There’s a reason why pretty much every custom action is based off a Remington 700. Not to mention how many rifle companies base there action off a Remington 700. I have Remington 700 rifles In my safe that...
