Have you acquired a stash of ammo and if so what have you got?
I would also offer up that the 200 grain loads you were talking about arexa fine choice. And 180 grain TBBC or A Frames would be just as good. As would TSX or Trophy Copper from Federal. Whichever you can find and which ever you gun lines best
I've acquired a stash of the 200 grain Terminal Ascents. They're available all over the place locally. I haven't bought anything else yet, but I probably will now that i have the rifle. Too bad there's really no cheap practice ammo for .300 WM, but I knew that going in.
I had a bit of a sight-in marathon today. The custom .308 and .300 got sighted in, as did the 6.5 PRC, since I replaced the scope on it.
The .300 shoots the 200 grain TA's well. It will easily be sub-MOA with them for 3 shot groups. For whatever reason, I wasn't shooting that well today and my group was still under an inch after getting it sighted in. It will be interesting to see what it can do on a good day after I get some rounds through it. Everything worked flawlessly with that rifle.
The .308 was having occasional feeding issues, so I stopped at the gunsmith's on the way home from the range. He swapped out the mag box and follower and all seems to be well now. I did end up ordering the Mesa bottom metal for the .308. The cheapness of the Remington bottom metal on a very not cheap rifle was grating on me. We'll see how it fits when it shows up. If anyone is looking for a replacement for their Remington BDL bottom metal, Mesa has theirs on sale for $125 right now, which is what pushed me over the edge.
I also got my first practice session in with shooting sticks, actually a tripod with a yoke on it. I just used my T1x .22 for that at 50 yards. It was tough at first, but after a couple shots I figured out that I needed to get the shot off faster before I started overthinking it and trying to make a perfect shot. By the end I was pretty much keeping all my shots in the 3" circle I was shooting at. After a few more sessions at 50 yards, I'll try 100 yards, then work on centerfire. A suppressed .22 makes things a lot easier.
IIRC, someone requested pics of the .300 earlier in the thread, so here are a couple for your viewing enjoyment. I forgot to take pics at the range, so my kitchen table will have to do for a backdrop. In the second pic you can see the goofy hex pattern in the bolt, which is really the only thing I don't like about the rifle.
