With a custom rifle I want the shots making one hole at 100 or I carry on developing the load. For non-custom I still want below .5MOA, if I can't get it, the rifle goes to the gunsmith for sorting. Photo shows what I expect at 100yds. with a custom 6.5-284. This gave me 10 bulls at 1000yds...

.223 is short range, why not go for a Ruger Precision in .243, much more powerful calibre. I use mine for target shooting out to 1000 yards in the UK with 107grain bullets.

I have found my 6.5-284 to be exceptionally accurate, RPA Quadlite action with a 32 inch 1 in 8 twist barrel. With Berger long range 140grain target bullets and H4350 it will put 3 shots at 100 yards into the same hole (0.2 inch centres), muzzle velocity 3,110 ft/sec. It is also accurate out to...

I agree with Speck. Having now got both my .308 and 6.5-284 RPA custom rifles in use, out to 600 yards they will both put 10 shots in the bull, most being inners depending on me. However the 308 is much cheaper to run and it is easier to obtain brass, only Lapua for the 6.5-284. 900 yards plus...

Are you set on a Remington? If you are going to change the stock as well, why not look for a Savage in 6.5 x 284 Norma. This would give you the long range capability. I have a 308 which is excellent for the medium ranges circa 600 yards but the bullet drop becomes high at 1000 yards. I am...

I came to this site when looking for a Vortex Viper scope review. I hunt and target shoot and have just completed a custom 308 build. Excellent results on the range but now need a scope which will allow me to adjust point of aim for distance and wind without turning knobs. Lots of interesting...

To Jerry D. What was your decision after all the discussion? I completed the build of a custom 308, with 1 in 10 twist rate, last year and after running in the barrel got a chance to use it at 500 yards on a target range. Using Lapua brass, Varget and Sierra 175 grain match bullets I managed...
