0-600yrds target caliber

[284wins]

Hi everyone,
Im looking to have a new built on a rem 700 short action that I got.
Rifle will ne use for 600yrds range target.

Have a 284win, 7mm rem mag, 7mmm08, 2 308, one will give is action.

As you see im a 7mm fan and with the rem mag im well equiped for long range hunting.

I do think solding one 308 and go full custom but I like to use what I got at home.

Im looking at the 6mm dasher but im open to any idea.

I dont mind single feeding my rifle.

Man, for target and 10 rds in 10 minutes out to 600, it's pretty tough to beat the cost and performance of the 6.5 creedmoor but I sure am enjoying my 22 creed

Love the 6.5 Creedmoor but 284 Win is very popular with F Class shooters.

I am really liking my 6 creed for PRS shooting. If I had to do it over I would be looking at the 6 dasher or 6GT.

6GT, 6BR, 6Dasher, 6XC, 6Creedmore. First 3 give better barrel life.

If I go the 6.5 way wiil be going with a 260rem long troated. Dont know why but dont like the creedmoore.

Could go again with a 284win but my goal is to go down scale so that why I look into 6mm cal

 

[284wins]

Will look at the 6 GT and 6BR, dont know those well

IMO, I'd do the 6 creed with those new heavy 6mm bullets in a 7-8 twist. It powers them slightly better that the other 6mm's.

In 6.5, you really need the 06 case or PRC case to power the big 6.5's.

And having à 6mm06 or a prc will need a other action

Correct.. A 6.5x284 would likely fit in that 284 win…

A PRC would fit in the 7mm Mag action…

For purely target shooting, 6BR, 6BRA, 6 Dasher, or any other 6BR wildcats will be the ticket. They shoot SMALL, stay in tune, and they're not expensive to shoot once you have the components and anybody can handle them.
