[QUOTE="diriel, post: 636617, member: 26983"] For inside 500 yards a .308 built for the 130 / 155 - ish grain bullets sporting a 16.5" barrel in medium palma taper would be most excellent. My mentor has a Rem 788 configured like that and it absolutely get it done For What It Is Built For.... Honestly LR, and Muzzle Brake, and HORSES.... man I would Hate to be your horse! Not only a magnum but a braked mag?? Holy S#!% .. A bit of straight up blunt honesty is in order here sir. I truly respect you Broz, but sir you are getting WAY carried away here! Have you considered a 25-06 Imp...? How about a 6.5x55 BJAI ? If that leaves ya cold perhaps a 6.5-284? How about the possibility of a 6mm Super LR, or a well built .243? 6mm Rem? 6mm Rem AI? 6XC is actually well designed and will "carry the mail" Out to respectable distances without excessive drama. For that matter, the old 6.5 Rem Mag if you build it right and hand load exclusively is actually pretty close to awesome. I would use a Winchester Short Mag action for the 3.1" mag length to make this old dog shine with today's new powders. Broz, I really do respect you man but a Magnum On Horseback is truly mid-evil. I know folks do it often but have mercy :) Hope I didn't **** you off sir! Gary [/QUOTE]
