I doubt that going to a custom reloader is gonna do much for ya over factory ammo and it absolutely is gonna cost you a bunch more then buying factory ammo. What are your issues right now? Group size? What rifle do you have. Very rarely are gun issues related to factory ammo. Is gun's barrel fouled? Scope loose or broken?
No offense, but I disagree.
Not saying issues aren't caused by the things you mentioned, but if you really want to take your shooting "to the next level", custom/handloaded ammo is one of the necessary steps.

I don't understand this thinking at all. Handloading is absolutly the way to go if you want to get the most out of your rifle.
To the OP, I just tested some ABM Ammo for them and was really impressed with it. It may be a decent option if you can't find a custom reloader to meet your needs.
Here is a link to my testing. http://www.rokslide.com/forums/long-range-hunting/48566-abm-300-win-ammo-review.html
Mods let me know if this isn't ok. Thanks.

OP if your looking to shoot cheaper than custom ammo is not what you want. Once that perfect load is found then it will be a bit cheaper than premium ammo but working up a load can be spendy, some times ya get lucky but often times your down 40-60 rounds working up a load.
If your looking to improve grouping and constancy then custom load will do that.

I'll second the ABM stuff.

2moa doesn't "work" for me.
You'd be surprised how many people consider that good enough....probably the majority of hunters
Not much difference between a 300 yards shot on a 2moa rifle compared to a 6 yard shot on a 1 moa rifle...which seems to be the advertised standard of accuracy these days
I prefer under .5 moan personally

Looks like somebody went dumpster diving behind the ABM plant. :chuckle:

I think a lot of hunters would be lucky to shoot 2 MOA with a .5 MOA rifle at 100 yards.

The days of buying a box of ammo before you go are long gone. Find something off the shelf (that your particular rifle likes) and buy a ton of it, enough for the life of the rifle.
Thank You All for your response, So here is my situation I shoot a Rem. 700 XCR 2 in 300 wsm with a nice Leupold on it bought it new and did the proper break in I was shooting Rem. Scirocco 180g they were great grouped very well at 100,200yd. I ran out of that ammo and found out they do not make it anymore !!!!!! So in looking at ammo and getting input from other's I bought 1 box of Barnes Tipped TSX 165g the Bolt on my rifle was VERY HARD to open after firing about 1/2 the box was like this and it makes me just a little nervous / uneasy here is the kicker they grouped just as good as the Scirocco ammo. I did look into custom ammo but it is Very Expensive and I really do not shoot a lot but when I do I want to shoot very well and with confidence in my ammo and abilities. So after that long story what factory ammo do you guy's use and or recommend ? I am looking at trying the Nosler Trophy Grade 180g accubond .
Thanks for your input
