Help me pick please

I want to stock up on some good ammo for shooting long range, I did some research on these ammo:

1. Prvi Partizan .308 175 gr. Boattail Hollow Point Match Grade Ammo

2. Black Hills Ammunition 308 175 Grain Match Hollow Point Boat Tail

3. Lapua Scenar Ammunition 308 185 Grain Hollow Point Boat Tail

These 3 are popular ammo to sport shooting shooters and I find that Lapua has the most good review but that's only over the internet and who knows if the company wrote their own review. I would rather hear from you guys here on OSA. I planned to shoot from 100 - 200 yards this summer.

to me 100-200 ain't that far but I am gonna say I have heard good things on lapua before

you're talking about a rookie here, I never shot over 100 yards before, this will be my first time. How about hordany?

what about hornady? when i got my 10fp , the guy told me 164gr (TAP) hornaday's were awesome in it, 1 hole 3 shot groups at 100 and .5" at 200. i got some SST's that i havent got a chance to try out yet, waiting on a better scope

What kind of rifle are you shooting?

 

[12gabackup]

At 100-200 yrds the heavier bullets sometimes don't have time to really stabilize. I like 150-168gr for the closer distances.

I agree with 12gaugebackup. Any name brand bullet will do well at those ranges in the 150-165 gr weight. The most useful thing will be to find out how each behaves in YOUR gun. What one guy's AR-10 likes, another guy's Savage 10FP might not like as well.

I have savage 10FP LE2. So I guess I would use heavier bullet if I want to shoot 300+ yards?

sounds like your trying to buy 500-600 yard ammo to only shoot 100yards
seems like a waste of money to me.
try something like winchester white box 147 gr. probably a lot cheaper and will work fine at the shorter ranges.

dont waste your money on the good stuff til you are good enough to use it. stick to bulk ammo
