[QUOTE="sniperjwt, post: 579613, member: 22262"] I am looking to build another rifle but like so many others im struggling on picking a caliber. It will be a hunting rifle however it will for surly be having a 30" barrel. Hunting will be out to 1000 yards. I love the 6.5mm bullets because of the BC and i do like wildcats so i have considered the 6.5-300 Win mag and the 6.5mmSTW. I also like the 338 bullets except for the price tag that goes along with shooting them. I have considered the 338 edge as well. I already have a 6.5-284 and 257stw so those calibers are out. Just sold my 7STW to fund this build so i guess that is not an option. It will be mainly deer size game so nothing to big is really needed (although still considered) but it does need enough energy to take down a large mature buck at that range. I just dont know where to go with it.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
