[QUOTE="Kroberts, post: 948501, member: 71507"] I have been reloading for a few years now, so as long as I can get components the ammo issue isn't really a big deal for me. And if need be I'm getting into paper patch bullet casting to get by with if I can't find any jacketed bullets. The heavies in each caliber are what I plan to play with. The 140-160s in the 6.5mm and the 180-190s in the 7mm if that makes a difference. I'm hoping that Berger will come out with the 195s soon if I go the 7mm so it would be twisted for them. I actually want the gun to be long barreled and heavy since it will be a specialty long range rifle since I have a win model 94 in 30-30 for my close range hunting gun, which really is 99% of my hunting. I'm after something that I can play with around and past 1000 yards without the expense of the larger magnums and the energy to effectively take game out there a ways too. I know the velocity will be getting on the low side with the higher weights but the higher BC should make up for that and is why I want a 30 some inch barrel to try bringing the velocity back up a little. I've just been jumping back and forth on caliber and chambering since I got the idea to rebarrel into something larger. I'll think I want something for a while, then switch to something else. From how it seems though, the 284 win is sounding like the better choice. Kyle [/QUOTE]
