[QUOTE="Tyler Kemp, post: 174882, member: 6290"] I know I have a standard for the 6mm Ackley. Already had the magnum because the Savage I'm building off of is a 7mm RM. I know this is fine for longer work, I just like new barrels and such. Recently while on a deer drive I had quite a wipe out. Hurt my knee and my gun, mostly just big dings and stuff, but the 7mm barrel has a big ugly scratch now. There's nothing wrong with it, I just want a "pretty" gun. I like big guns also, I understand a 308 Winchester or standard 300 Win Mag, or the 7mm Rem Mag I already have would be fine for ranges out to 500 and more, but I seem to have more confidence when shooting big guns, which is why I went for a 45-70 for short range work. I also handload, so 300 RUM shouldn't cost much more than anything else to reload for, especially when I consider I can ask for cases and bullets, powder, primers, for my birthday next year. [/QUOTE]
