[QUOTE="JCFORD, post: 209753, member: 5240"] Zjfty9, out of the choices I would probably go 270 WSM, but I really like the 264. Maybe a 6.5 WSM?? That is unique caliber and would handle the load, but requires having a smith at the very least rechamber a barrel for you/him. There are some very good 6.5(.264) bullets to pick from. I am in the process of having built just what you are talking about. I am having Kirby Allen (Fiftydriver here on the forum) build me a 7mm Dakota with a 26" #4 Lilja fluted barrel, to be my tried and true deer rifle. I told him I wanted to be able to do 750 yards and this is what we settled on. I am planning trips to Colorado & Alberta in the next few years as well as hunting here at home in Kansas and Oklahoma. Kirby has a whole stable of unique calibers of his own making if you uncle is willing to go custom, and they will all do the job. Good Luck in your quest. [/QUOTE]
