For factory ammo, the S&B Tactical 142gn works very, very well in my friends RPR.
I’m not sure what the bullet is, but very similar to the 142gn SMK.

I'm interested to see what people think aswell, I'm about to pick up probably some sort of bergara and had heard the hornady eldx's shoot well out of them. Maybe I'll get into reloading but be factory to start with

I have a shooting buddy that shoots his Creedmoor out to a mile. I just steal his ammo when he isnt looking. I pay him back in bacon butties.
I like your plan, surely bacon butties are far lot cheaper! :good:
