    6mm BR or 26 Nosler

    Hi Everyone, Has anyone had any experience shooting Whitetails with a 6mm BR or one of the new 26 Noslers? I am looking at building another custom and I'm torn between these two calibers. Any advice would be welcome. Tris

    17 WMR Custom

    Hi Everyone, I want to get a 17 WMR in a left hand bolt. Few of the major manufacturers have even started making rifles in this caliber let alone left handed ones. I know that Volquartzen have one but it's $2000. Could anyone suggest who would be the best person to build one? Many thanks...

    Need help deciding on a rangefinder

    Hi Everyone, I'm looking at buying a rangefinder and can't decide what to go for. I want to use it both for bowhunting and with my rifle. As far as intended range goes I would like to be able to use it to 800-1000yards but most of the use will be well under that. I don't have a fixed budget...

    Advice wanted on rifle calibers

    Hi Mark, I'm sorry if my questions seem confusing I am looking to shoot as flat a round as possible out to 500 yards. The reason I was originally thinking of shooting a 70gr bullet is that I was thinking of shooting a 6mm of some description and was of the belief that a 70gr would give me a flat...

    Advice wanted on rifle calibers

    Hi Gary, why do few people ever get anywhere with the 223 WSSM? Thanks for your suggestions of the .224 Vias and Jaybird I will have a look at them. I was originally looking at a 6mm but if I was to run 70grs in a 22 caliber at the same velocity as a 6mm then surely the 22 will have a better bc...

    Advice wanted on rifle calibers

    Just to make sure I have this correct, is a 250 AI an ackley 22-250? Between this and the 223 WSSM which one is likely to be a better choice? In terms of shooting distance I am only looking to shoot up to 500 yards. I looked at the 257 STW but from what I can gather it does burn through a barrel...

    Advice wanted on rifle calibers

    Well thank you so much for your advice. Definitely plenty to think about, would anyone be able to tell me which of these calibers is likely to be the flattest? I really am looking for a flat trajectory. The other question I would ask is what is the shortest barrel length that I could get away...

    Advice wanted on rifle calibers

    Hi everyone, I am looking at buying another rifle and I am not sure what to get. I currently have a 6.5x284 and a 7mm rem mag and am looking for something slightly smaller. I really want to be shooting around a 70 gr bullet and would like it to be as flat as possible. I want to shoot coyotes...
