Some say with SRP brass aids in achieving lower SD/ES which is good when shooting longer distance, greater than ~500 yards. But, with SRP brass you may need your bolt bushed by a gunsmith. Choose one or two bullets in each weight (130 to 140 grain). Manufactures such as Lapua, Berger, Hornady, Sierra, and Nosler make quality long range bullets. Powder, you can try to reinvent the wheel but Hodgdon’s H4350 is close to the go to powder. Primers, take your pick. I shoot CCI BR2 but there are other good ones to choose from. Brass, take your pick. Lapua, Peterson, Alpha?, (not any experience with them). Whichever brass you choose buy a lot of it. This way hopefully you’ll get it all from the same lot. Whatever you do don’t mix brass with the same loading. Chances are they won’t perform the same and can cause an unhealthy event. Keep everything consistent and when making changes only change one thing at a time.</p></blockquote><p></p>
