[QUOTE="lazylabs, post: 251628, member: 6641"] LV That's the second post you suggested selecting a bullet to build a rifle around. I see where you are coming from but that seems dangerous to me. I would bet there are a few people here that built guns around Wildcat bullets that are not very happy right now. Say I chose to build a 338 for the 265 HAT bullet and picked the lapua case. #1 I throat it long to allow the AL tipped bullets to seat to the bottom of the neck. Then after shooting I find it just won't shoot well enough what then? It's setup wrong for the the 250 SMK and the 300 will be slower than I wanted and have a lower BC #2 It shoots great I get real excited and then the one maker either changes the bullet design or stops making it all together? I know it's the price you pay for being on the cutting edge. I think you just have to consider the number of bullet options and a fall back plan when investing in a rifle. [/QUOTE]
