Default RE: .300 ultra mag

My 300rum's are my favorite. But I did have to start reloading to take advantage of what they really can do. The few factory loads avaliablewere not the greatest for accuracy or bullet construction. I do beleive its federal who now loads the 180 barnes TSX which would be my pick over the rem stuff. Like big country said the recoil is ratherstiff I was very suprised how much over the 300 winny even. I have a friend who put a brake on his and has very little recoil but the blast is terrible I think it makes your cheeks jiggle. Also make sure you use good rings and bases we had one break a screw on the leupold bases.
