Slowest impact I've had with a 250 sst was around 1350 fps. I found the tip and most of jacket in the deer, the lead core exited. That is what has happened on every deer I've shot with them. At closer distances the jacket is in tiny pieces at longer distances the jacket will be mostly whole just...

Since you reload trying reduced loads in your current rifle seems like the cheapest and most sensible answer. The kids will get used to shooting that rifle and as they are able to take more recoil you can up the power of the loads and the only thing that will change is the recoil and the dope...

Bump up 7 thousands in diameter and do a 280 or 280ai. Basically the same cartridge as a 270 but you have way more high bc bullets to pick from.

280 ai is cool but you kinda have that covered. Could do a fast twist 6mm remington ai. Launch some higher bc 6mm bullets fairly fast.

Of your two listed id go 260. Id definitely go 260 over 243. If your already set up to load for 260 great. If not id go 6.5 creedmoore. Everybody loves to hate on thr creedmoore but they hate the marketing and fan boys not the case itself. More loaded ammo and brass options abailable for the...

Probably has a lot to do with sales volume and the intended market. I would imagine the sales of anything 50 bmg would be miniscule compared to the things we deal in.

Great bull. Its to bad the meat is questionable but as others have said she saved a prolonged death and a the waste of a good bulls antlers.

Lapua is offering 300 prc brass for 2021. Having another option for good brass is a plus. Id stick with your prc or sherman mag plan.

Starting with a remington rum action i would stick with a rum or edge. Not all smiths will open the bolt face to lapua because of safety concerns. It might be fine but if you can get the very similar performance without opening the bolt face that seems like a winner.

This is almost as bad as that jackwagon thinking the 30-06 was dead.

There is less overlap here than in other calibers. 308, 30-06, 300 wsm, 300 wm, 300 rum are all still popular. I dont understand the drive to put down the creedmoor and hornady. The creedmoor is a great cartridge if used in its envelope. People exagerate its abilities just like they exagerate...

Do you want to compete at 2 miles or just want a gun that can get there? If you want to compete then get a chey-tac or another off the king of 2 mile list. If your not competing with it you could build and shoot a 338 edge or 300 prc for a fractionof the cost of one of the big boys and likely...

If you want to stick with the ar15 platform and are just target shooting the 22 valkyrie is another option.

Anybody who thinks the 308 and 30-06 are dead are spending to much time on long range hunting and shooting forums.

More heavy bullet options in 7mm. The prc will be easier to find loaded ammo for if that matters to you. The prc doesnt have a rebated rim. Adg, bertram, and hornady are the only sources for brass for either cartridge that im aware of. Pretty much a toss up. Id go 7mm though
