Condolences on your loss.
I suspect you see much better results with a heavier bullet for a .300 Mag. Knew a guy who regularly won 1,000 yard matches(also shot prone. No rest though, I think.) with a 17.5 pound, custom rifle, built on a Win M70. He used 190 grain match bullets.
Mind you, sighting in for you will matter.
