I have a Savage 116-FCCS 30-06 ordered and on the way and plan to do some reloading and get into benchrest shooting for fun. I have never done any benchrest shooting and have always wanted to get into some long distance (1000+ yards) shooting. I am going to load 168gr bthp using Federal Match primers. I am hoping to get the input of some more experienced people who have experience in the 30-06 caliber. What have you all found to be the best combination of primer, powder, etc. for great long distance performance?

I have my brass and bullits on order, I ordered Sierra MatchKing 168gr BTHP. But I aim to attempt several different bullits and powders, so I am open to everyone's input. Thanks.
