Rem 700 24" barrel 1x10 twist, 8mm Rem mag.
I have been using this for hunting this year and really liking it. With the currant shortages I have been reluctant to be playing with it. So far My go to loads are reloader and Barnes tsx 200 3200 fps, and reloader 26 and sierra 220, 3100 fps.
I have shot them both at 500 yards both shoot in a 5" group. And mostly the same POI the 220 are about 5" lower but both center target.
This is my current scope,

I have this one on order originally thought for my 6mm rem but a swap may be better.??

I have been "Testing " On deer and antelope at 400 to 500 yards. I have been using the Barnes for hunting, It IS VERY hard for me to turn my back on the Barnes. I use them for ALL my hunting bullets and have NEVER been let down. I need more practice at over 400 yards. At $2.50 a shot with the Barnes, well you get the point. The 220's are about $.90 cheaper to shoot, and way more available .
In my heart I think the 220's would be a better longer shot choice. SO!
All this is going to this. ?
Now I understand neither scope or barrel or bullet is a LONG distance Apprentice.
But from what I have been seeing The 8 will hit. and kill most north American game animals at well over 500 yards.
Which scope and which bullet would you concentrate your time and resources on.
