[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 2892712, member: 10284"] Since you're working with a short action, 243 Win (fast twist), 260 Rem, 7mm-08. I personally would not have a problem with shooting a deer at 400 yards with a 6mm 95 or 105 VLD out of a 243 Win. They aren't armor plated. Consider powder consumption and bullet prices (heavier generally costs more) and performance needed. Keep the barrel at 24" or more. Any of these will be fine for 400 yards. Look for component availability first, Lapua brass, then use the KISS method. [/QUOTE]
