[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2491672, member: 9299"] With the current component shortages (240Wea brass), you may wish to look at something in the 6-06, 6mmRem AI (my favorite), 6-284 or the 243AI realm. Plenty of guns out there that can be easily re-chambered to AI, and a few for sale already in AI or 6-06. My 6mmRemAI's with longer barrels reach near 240 vels and with less powder, and I have no trouble making shoots well in excess of 1,000. Longest medium game was over 800 with the 105's. If your limits are below 400 as you state, then there is really no need for even the AI's. I do recommend a faster twist for using the longer VLD types for reduce wind drift, but I have taken a lot of game and varmints under 500 with standard 1/10 and 1/9 twists. [/QUOTE]
