[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1517388, member: 307"] I think you need a 6 and/or 7mm something to round out your arsenal. Cartridges that I would look in to would be a fast twist 6mmBR. It's phenomenally accurate to the range you mentioned. Good brass, good bullets, low recoil and a wealth of loading data from the Benchrest community. I have a friend who deer hunts/target shoots with he makes 300-350yd head shots from his tower blind on "meat" does. I would almost say it out shoots both of our 6.5X284's but I ain't gonna admit that to him! I am looking to build one off a SA Savage I have. In the 7mm area, I would like to have a 7-300WinMag., for you :) Just because, I like the 7RM and the .300WM. so much, why not put them together? With Norma or Nosler brass, a fast twist (1-8"), 28" barrel, it would be something with the 195gn projectiles. Good luck in your search! [/QUOTE]
