What are your opines on the best weight bullet for this event? Rifle will be a Savage Model 12, 26" barrel, 1:9 twist. My son-in-law wants to try 300 yard F Class. Thank you in advance.

Rusty, 69 Sierra MatchKing and 23.1 grains of VV 135, velocity chronographed at 2725 ft/secs F205M, Winchester brass 2.255 COL... Amazing, absolutely amazing from my 1 in 9 Colt Hbar Elite 24".

I agree with the previous post but there are a lot of good bullets in this weight class. Hornady is also readily available. Even 55gr. bullets should shoot well enough at 300 yards from a 1 in 9 twist to be competitive at that range. velocity is like a new car, always losing value. BC is like diamonds, holding value forever. | |||

70gr Berger VLD works great. As well as the 69smk, BC is better in the vld. Ive heard some 1-9s good threw Nosler77custom comps! But the 69smks with 25gr of varget smoke! As well as the 70 vld! good luck. | |||
