[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2698944, member: 69192"] Congratulations on passing on your values and hunting traditions!! I believe that our kids need to learn work ethics and how life works, “ without” free handouts!! My thoughts on designer cartridges are (1) they’re expensive to feed (2) components are or become scarce (3) after a few years they become extinct. I like the .277 caliber, however the 6.8 Western would not be my first choice due to what I’ve mentioned. My thoughts are a .270 WSM, only with a 1:8 twist barrel. WInchester already has a winner in the accuracy department with this cartridge, but came up with a different case design to come up with something new to sell their rifles. You will get more powder capacity, this round has been around and proven to be a winner and from what I’ve seen isn’t going to be phased out or become extinct; it’s past the test of time!! Good luck with your build and enjoy this journey with your son. Time is a commodity that cannot be bought and life is not a dress rehearsal!! [/QUOTE]
