[QUOTE="Coues Sniper, post: 258157, member: 9377"] racin, Kirby gave you excellent advice. I have a lightweight 300 RUM that i currently use for Coues that I really like and shoots well, but loses some consistency after about 800 yards or so. I believe it to be because of the reasons Kirby explained. The 180 grain pills I have been using are probably part of the reason as well. I'm currently playing with the 210 Bergers and 208 A-Max's to see if that can extend my range some. I wanted a 1000 yard+ gun, and Kirby is currently getting parts together for a 7mm AM for me. This is a 338 Lapua necked to a 7mm and is [B]very[/B] impressive ballistically. Mine will be about 12-13 lbs hunting weight though. That is the price you have to pay however for long range performance. And as far as the Gunwerks guns are concerned, I've never shot one, but from what I hear they shoot very well. However, you can have a good smith build you a rig that shoots at least as good for probably around 1500 to 2000 less. Good luck with your build. [/QUOTE]
