The .30 Remington BR (Bench Rest) cartridge is a rifle cartridge designed for precision shooting, particularly in bench rest competition. Developed by Remington, it is based on the .308 Winchester case, shortened and necked down to .30 caliber. The result is a cartridge tailored for accuracy with moderate recoil, making it popular among competitive shooters.
The .30 BR generally fires bullets in the 110 to 125-grain range, achieving velocities around 2,500 feet per second. Its consistent performance and accuracy make it ideal for 100 to 300-yard bench rest shooting.
The .30 Remington BR is appreciated for its ease of case preparation, long barrel life, and reduced powder charge compared to larger calibers, contributing to lower recoil and extended shooter comfort during prolonged shooting sessions.
