[QUOTE="blacktail 8541, post: 1157449, member: 83713"] I am in the beginning stages of a new build for a 1000 yard plus long range build. This will be for Targets plus the occasional Elk trip I do not want the lapua length action if I can avoid it. I am also left handed. My preferred action will have a LH bolt with right port. McMillan A3 stock. with a Nightforce 5x22 or a Swaroski Z5 3x18 The choice I have narrowed it down to in the 30 caliber range is between the 30 nosler or the 300 Norma mag. In the 338 range, it is between the 338 Norma mag and the 338 Remington ultra mag. One set would take the standard mag bolt face and the other the Lapua blot face. This could possibly be a switch barrel set up. I am leaning towards a Bartlien 3b, #4 or a light palma contour barrel. 26 inch to 28 + brake. Ideal weight will be between 10 and 11.5 lbs. Bullet weight if 30 cal will be 210 + , 338 will start at the same and go to ? With these perimeters, I need help selecting a cartridge. I don't have to have the biggest and baddest, but would like the horse power to take elk to 1250 maybe 1400 yards. [/QUOTE]
