Chris,

There probably is no such thing as the best of any ammo for any rifle. My personal opinion is that you should get your hands on as many different brands/bullet weights as is possible and try them all, with an eye towards what you want performance wise. The length of your barrel and the twist ratio are going to affect what weight of bullets it can stabilize effectively, this will contribute to accuracy. Any of the major manufacturer's premium/match ammunition will be more than adequate to begin with. A standard long-range .300 WM load is a 190gr. HPBT Sierra MatchKing moving at about 2950 fps. I personally have had good luck with Black Hills ammunition in the above configuration. The bottom line is that any two consecutively serial numbered rifles off the same assembly line can potentially like two different loads. So it's all a matter of trying different ammo until you find the factory load that your rifle shoots most accurately.

Good Luck
