Rem 700 police in .223

Hi got a Rem 700 P 26" 1/9 twist whats the best bullet for 300 & 500 yard F/M class, highest B.C
that will stabilize, any loads would be nice as well.

The sierra 77 gr bullet should work well.
You may try the 80 gr offering but it will be hit or miss(pun intended) on weather or not it will stabilize in a 1/9 twist barrel. It does in mine.

Bingo.

(Actually I happen to use 24.5 grains, but that's minor...)

I shoot the Hornady 75 grain A-Max with a slightly lighter charge of Varget with extreme accuracy in a Colt 24" accurized rifle, I am confident that your 26" would do as well.
