Bought a 300 BO, anyplace that's good for ammo in the Warrenton area?

8.5" PSA upper and will run with a YHM R9 can for now.

I've got several and I've had good luck with PSA "sabre" black tip ammo. I don't shoot suppressed, so I can't speak for the heavy grain ammo, but the 110 grain shoots awesome. The cost is $.60ish cents per round plus shipping from PSA.
For what it's worth from a 16 inch barrel it's poison on whitetails. I have it about 3 inches high at 100 yards and that's pretty much point and shoot to 200+yards. At 300 yards aim at the top of the back or slightly over.
My experience shooting pretty much coincides with the Hornady ballistic calculator and I used PSA fps to calculate. It's around 2400-2450 fps for the 110 grain. Tells me it's pretty consistent as I've shot both deer and milk jugs with it.
I'd look hard at PSA if I were you. Just my 2 cents, good luck

Excellent, thank you. I was thinking about reloading for it as well, and the 110 are available for that if I wanted to make cheaper plinking rounds.
