[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 127095, member: 4785"] It is realy a hard decision when you get into specilised calibres but the thing i want to do is fit it into an AR MAg i could go with the 338 and use a M14 MAg as i will be building it on a Rem 700 Short action and the bolt face is not an issue i will just open the bolt face myself not an issue. I also have a 223 action as a donor so either is no issue as i would fit a tubb 2000 extractor. The thing is the lack of recoil it will have a Flash Supressor but not a silencer as the problems associated with a licence here in Australia is rediculas. Their is also Richards 195ULD projectile in 270 and that would laos be a very good performer and be a standard calibre. But i could also do a 30BR and use the new heavy 30 cal Wildcats. Originaly i was looking at using a 22 cal but the energy would not be enough for Pigs and Goats that would be the upper level i will be using it for.
