[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1504903, member: 69192"] Hello VLD, glad that you gave me a response to my posts. I agree that there are better long range rifle calibers, however for me this caliber will meet my expectations for what I am hunting and for my own shooting capabilities. I am not going to be trying to win any long range matches with this rifle. I am planning on 400 or "maybe" 500 yards tops. I have shot deer at 450 yards with 140 grain Nosler partitions; DRT! For me the .270 Winchester is the best caliber for my hunting needs. I cannot walk as I once used to, so something with the capabilities to knock a whitetail or down at 400-500 yards will probably be the furthest shot that I will be making. I also like the felt recoil of the .270 over the calibers using a heavier charges of powder. This poster never did state what he wanted to do with the rifle he intends to build other than shoot bullets faster than 3000fps.? That is a variable that also has to enter into the equation. I appreciate the information about bullet coefficients and will do more research on that. Thanks [/QUOTE]
