[QUOTE="Duff, post: 112353, member: 2397"] I have a Savage .308 that I am going to rebarrel. The two calibers that interest me are the .260 Rem and the 6 BR. The rifle will be used primarily for paper punching and steel plates out to 600 yards, but I'm sure it'll be used on the occasional long range woodchuck as well. I've always wanted a 6.5 somthing, so a .260 makes good sense-good ballistics, less recoil then the .308, ect. But after doing some reading on 6mmBR.com, I've started thinking that maybe a quick twist 6 BR is what I need? Honestly I really don't think it'll be a hunting rifle (for deer ect.) but I do have a hard time pulling myself away from the "more horsepower is always better" train of thought [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] I like the idea of shooting past 600 yards, but finding a spot here in Michigan to get to 600 yards will be tough enough, so 1000 yards probably isn't that realistic.
