[QUOTE="backwoodsshooter, post: 2324628, member: 117047"] what can you get components for? do you have SST or 300wsm brass? if not do you have a source? do you have or can you get the powder either requires? dies? that’s always been a determining factor for any caliber i want to get. so far it’s a mentality that has served me well. so to answer your questions based on my .02, 1- either one of the calibers mentioned would work just fine IMHO. Yotes aren’t that hard to dispatch. also don’t forget to take a peek at the 25 creedmor. i’m gonna be putting a 25 cal together in the next year or 2 and i’m gonna either go with the 25 creedmor or the 25 SST. but again, components are gonna be a big determining factor when i start everything 2- 131 BlackJacks, 133 Berger Elite hunter, 128gr hammer hunter. all have been proven to be excellent projectiles. 3- shorter barrel, less velocity. roughly and i mean roughly 25-50FPS loss/gain per and inch. but shorter barrel means better mobility, and getting hung up less in the brush. also i like my barrels to be a bit on the heavier side so anything that is .850 or higher on the muzzle end is what i go with. choose a contour you’re happy with. 4- 1:7, 1:7.25, 1:7.5. go no slower than 1:7.5. as it anything slower you’ll probably run in to stability issues with the heavy stuff. best i got for now [/QUOTE]
