[QUOTE="kiwi49, post: 1552680, member: 82514"] If it's a 'middle' calibre, try this formula - (.224 + .308)/2 = .266. .266-.002= .264/6.5 Seems to me to be a fairly happy medium. Being an 'old fart', I like military cartridges, so my choice would be 6.5x55 in a modern medium/long action, tight twist and long (26"++++) barrel. Lapua/Norma, amongst others, make excellent brass for it, and with modern powders/pressures, will not be disgraced by anything more recently marketed. If Berger doesn't drop the ball, their 'yet to see the light of day' bullet, Sierra or one of the smaller bullet makers may have something in their range to satisfy big beastie harvesting, or long range targets. Else a 284/7mm option on easy to find brass - heaps of choices from small case to big case - you choose. [/QUOTE]
