Remington 700 243 (long range shooter)?

[killadoe]

I want to make my 700 a 300 yard gun? What kinda bullet will help me acheive this. I have millet mounts a 3x9x50 BSA scope. Any suggestions, thanks...

any bullet will make 300 yards in a 243, just find a bullet of 87 gr or so on up that your rifle likes and shoot, shoot, shoot!

It already is. Like RR suggested, experiment with different ammo until you find what shoots best. Additionally, if it were me, I'd junk the BSA and get a better scope.

Well I had a Nikon on it but it got put on my Muzzleloader, then I had this scope on my 17 an dliked it alot so i figured I would try it on my 243..

I might change out the scope. http://www.swfa.com/pc-6833-224-nikon-3-9x50-prostaff-riflescope.aspx

And I like the 87 gr V-MAX from Hornady. 44-46 gr of Varget.

Pick up a box of Federal Premium 85gr HPBT Sierra GameKings, at 3320 fps you can sight in 2 1/2 to 3 inches high at 100 yards and you will be
2 1/2 to 3 inches low at 300...I've tried them in 4 different 700s and they all grouped them very well...I've killed 35 or so deer with that bullet...

years ago I took a groundhog at 606 steps with a 243, it was an 85 gr HP, 300 yards is pretty much a chipshot for any rifle from 223 on up.

I agree with everybody else, pretty much any bullet should be able to make that distance.
