[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1290417, member: 12193"] Personally I would go with a 7mm because of the wider selection of good bullets. 28 Nosler or one of the 7mm-300 magnum wildcats would get you the velocity you seek with 180 grain bullets. The only drawback to the Nosler is the cost of brass (as you know). A 7mm-300 Winchester magnum will be just a hair slower but brass is cheap and you can use 300 Win bushing dies. With the amount you're spending on a full custom gun I'd do the 28 nosler. 150 pieces of brass should last you the life of the barrel if you don't run it too hard. With 180 Hornady ELDs or 195 Bergers this caliber will maintain 1800+ fps beyond 1200 yards. [/QUOTE]
