Hello guys, I purchased a Browing A Bolt rifle chambered in the 300 Remington Ultra Magnum a few years ago. The scope is a Zeiss 4.5-14x50 Conquest which I love!
My question is now that I am getting into reloading I am not sure if I should invest any more money into my Browning 300 RUM. I get about .5" groups at 100 yards with factory ammo and would like to get better groupings than that. I did not know if I should invest some gunsmithing work into my Browning or if I should just keep the Browning the way it is and buy another bolt action that would be used for "precision shooting".
I just thought it would be nice if I had a very accurate deer rifle, but just didn't know if it was possible on a Browning platform. I realize that it is pretty accurate, but I would like to have something that would shoot tight groups at 300 yards. I like the power that the 300 RUM offers which is why I would like to stick with the 300 RUM if possible as opposed to going with something like a .308. What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance!
