What I meant is that you can play that game until you get to 257 Weatherby vs 26 nosler. Eventually a larger caliber and case capacity will deliver more performance. The 26 nosler will never touch a 7 rum and so on... At some point everyone needs to figure out what balance they want to strike...

More is always more. Bigger is bigger. That doesn't mean better. I think a better comparison would be 25cm with the heaviest factory bullets (135gr) vs the 6.5prc (which is more appropriate for driving the heaviest 6.5s at 153gr). More is more and the 6.5/prc wins hands down. But that's also...

This does come down to your budget, but I’d go with a 700 clone custom action. You’ll spend an additional $400ish to get into an opening price point option a little more if you want more options, but there are so many more trigger and stock options than with tikka or savage. My first build was...

Erik Cortina Believe the Target Ultimate Reloader These aren't hunting podcasts but they know a lot about putting together accurate rifles, Reloading, and shooting.

I have 6.5cm Lapua brass necked down and headstamped 25cm brass from Alpha. With 131BJ bullets I went all the way to 43.3gr of H4350 without a problem in the Lapua brass. I couldn't hold seating depth with 42.8gr in the Alpha brass. There is a lot of difference in the case capacities here. I...

As you are posting this on a long range hunting site, I assume you will have him shooting at some distance as soon as he is ready. If you reload I would look at the range of bullet weights available in different calibers. Personally, I think the 25 is ideal. You can practice with 85 grain...

Perfection.

The 22xxx or 6mm xxxx is the best deer cartridge (as discussed on a LONG RANGE HUNTING forum) "I know a guy who killed a deer with one, one time." The 308 win is a great long range hunting cartridge (that's what snipers use) The superior ballistics and terminal performance of berger bullets...

New thread started so I do not de-rail this 42 page gem.

This is the biggest troll thread. Some dude pulled the pin, lobbed the grenade, and walked away 42 pages ago. Yet I get sucked in every time. I'm going to start a thread to discuss threads in tired of seeing.

I think this thread should be moved over the shortrangehunting.com.

I guess, as long as she's happy.

I got my son a carbon fiber manners with removable spacers. It goes from youth length to standard so he can adjust as he grows. People always say 6mm… and it sounds like you want one, but I hand load so I do not see any reason not to go .257 or 6.5. You can load light varmint bullets for...
