[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1454211, member: 101755"] For many of the reasons listed above...and quality commercial ammo, cheap brass and pretty efficient... 6.5 Creedmoor gets my vote! With those three things be a base criteria...6.5x47 is out as is the 6.5x284. While I'm sure the 260 is a great cartilage...finding ammo in a pinch might be tough to pull off. But as has been said if I went that way Ackley the caliber. Be a lot cheaper than buy 6.5x284 brass. And I agree with Mud on the Grendel. I bought two very cheap barrel for a couple AR's that I have. I was very lucky as they both shoot a lot better than I needed and a ton better than I expected. I never dreamed I would shoot it out to 400 yards but did last week. I was super pleased with the accuracy! Where I do most of my hunting a 500 yard shot would be very tough to come by so high BC bullets don't draw a lot of attention from me for hunting. Ringing steel is fun but but I don't shoot competitively so loosing a little BC just means a couple more clicks to get it done. [/QUOTE]
