Sierra makes a matchking in .277, but the BC is listed at .488 and are these really that bad to use for hunting?

Why does it seem like no one use 270 or 25-06 for commercially available long range loads, i would think theyd be great rounds, one is right between 7 and 6.5, and the other is between 6.5 and 6. wouldnt those be two sweet spots for accuracy and long range efficiency?

Its a .243 so its a short action. I've already got a .270 and a 25-06 in Win model 70's

What about a 6.5 creedmore in a model 788 action?

I do have a .243 remington 788 i may be able to build off of

The only problem is the fact that I would rather not start handloading yet, as i am just about to start college, and this is probably a project that will happen in a few years from now anyway. I picked a bad time to start wanting to shoot longrange didn't I

I have always wondered why there is no factory long action 6.5 rounds, like a standardized 6.5-06 easily available.

I have an old .270 that I am really wanting to make into a serious longrange rifle. Since the rifle is already a long action, is there any reason not to go with the .264? Or are the other rounds more inherently accurate? Could aftermarket barrel choice be a factor in this as well?

Sorry guys, I ended up getting a new 12x milquad, decided the $50 didn't justify used, and I figured I could get exactly what I wanted too.

I just got a SWFA super sniper 12x, and set of Leupold dual dovetail mounts and bases. Do these need to be lapped? And if so, whats a way to lap them without an actual lapping kit?
