I have a Remington 700 long action. The barrel is a Krieger 6.5 cal. #4 contour. This rifle build will be for hunting deer mainly. Im looking for ideas for chambering this rifle. I looking for moderate recoil, good barrel life, and something that can shoot the 140 Amax. I was thinking about something possibly based off the 308 winchester case and Improving it Ackley wise. Ive read the 6.5x284 is such a barrel burner, but I like the shorter fat casing. Any ideas including wildcats and reasoning would be great, Thanks. gun)
