What would yal recommend for a good deer round, and a "long" range round? Probably would use the long range for both to tell you the truth. I just picked up 100 pieces of brass.
Still need some glass to top it off with, so I'm in no hurry. It has a 1/10 twist.
Thanks for the info.
 
for the long range load,,try the 155 Scenar and IMR8208XBR if it wont shoot in the 10 twist try the 185 Berger Juggernaunt with RL15 or A2520
I havent tried the new Tipped SMKs but they look promising,,

for deer hunting shoot any regular bullet that will hold MOA from 150-180 grs
 
For deer, the 165 gr. Nosler BT with 45 gr. of Varget is a sub MOA in my 1:10 twist Savage and pretty decent lr round out 600 yards. The 175 and 190 SMK's are great lr round's. My rifle really likes Varget and BLC-2 the best.

Imr4064 works well with anything in the 165-180 range as well.
