[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 174836, member: 2852"] Whatever you do, don't make a 6.5-300 ultra if you are worried about costs. You'll be buying so many barrels that the barrel companies will know you by name! And the 7 ultra isn't much better for barrel life. Even the 300 has less than I like because I like to practice a lot. And the difference in costs of bullets of 30 cal and 338 is pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things. I guess what I'm saying is don't get too radical right out of the gate. You need to practice, practice, practice, to do long range responsibly and there are SO MANY cartridges that will get way out there and they will allow you to practice without fear of buying two or three barrels per year. One of my favorite things in life is to show up to a 1000 yard competition with my puny little 6br improved and beat all the big boomers and then show them what cartridge just ruined their day.
