I could achieve a 2.75" group @ 300 mtrs pretty consistently with 53g V max, on a good day with a bi-pod from a CZ with a skinny sporter weigh barrel.

Well best shooting, nosler 50gn BT. Probably best all round actually. Best value? Maybe 55gn Sierra super roo. Very good in all departments. SHOTS very close second. I don't mind the zmax 50 gun either but have not had the time to load develop properly with them and cannot get as tighter groups as the nosler BT.
I know I will never buy both Hornady TAP. And highland. They are SHIT

24.5 to 25 gn BM2 would be a good start
