FiftyDriver brings up a good point about accuracy and bullet stabilization. Seeing that stabilization is really based on RPM’s rather than a rate of twist, once you start getting speeds that this round claims, you can start playing with slower twist rates and will still be able to stabilize...
And I could use some load data. So far I plan on using 100gr soft points for the fireforming loads, and after that I will start in on load development. The plan is to shoot either 87gr Vmaxes or 90gr Berger’s. Any load data for these two bullets would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

It appears to have sold/not for sale. Thanks for the heads up though.
Ironically, the only two other centerfire rifles I own are a 6mmbr and a 260. The reason Im considering a larger caliber is that I like knowing I have to potential to bring the downrange energy to hunt with also. Besides that, I own a garand and just love that 30-06 round for natalgic reasons...
Im looking for a new target rifle and am focusing on a heavy barreled 30-06. Then I got thinking about the Sendero model 300 UM, or a Heavy WSM. Is there anything that any one of these rounds can do that the other cant? Besides speed, would there be any advantage to going to a harder...
Can anyone tell me how the 243 WSSM compares to the 243AI and how they add up in this equation? Right now I am really considering either a fast 243 cal or a slower 30 cal. The reason I like the 243 is for the recoil. And Ive always wanted a heavy barreled 30-06 on a Mod 70 for nastalgic...
Sorry I didnt respond to the question earlier. Yes I am from Michigan and for the most part you can find farmers fields to shoot ground hogs at that range all over the state. We can use centerfire rifles when Rifle deer season is not open, but when deer season is open we can only use...
Of course I will reload, I forgot that some people dont. My next question is, would there be other calibers that would do the same thing with lower recoil perhaps? Maybe a 243AI, 25-06, 7mm-08?
Im a regular reader and know you guys (and gals) will be able to help me out. Im looking for another rifle for target out to 750 yards, and for possible white tail out to 350 yards. Right now im considering either a 30-06 or a 300 or 338 RUM(I would add a brake of some sort on this one). I...
