[QUOTE="mooretitan, post: 936992, member: 79147"] Well I have been reading everything possible before I start my first build. I am going to pick up a savage model 11 hog hunter in 308 and start my build from there. 1st step is going to put it in a different stock and then decide on what 6.5 I want to rebarrel it to. I have been leaning to a 260 but still like the 6.5-284. Not really worried about buring the barrel out. If I burn it out then it would have been a lot of fun and I will just get a new one. Anyways here is my question. Being from Cali and not being able to get out anytime soon I [I]am[/I] stuck with nonleaded. I have been shooting Barnes TTSX in both 243, 30-06 and 300RUM and have had good groups. I have not papered them past a 100 but the bullet has performed well on game the last few years. What I like about a 6.5 is the BC but with non lead I cant get the higher 6.5 BC bullets. I am stuck with the 120TTSX which I think is around BC of 4 or the 127LXR Barnes with a 4.68BC. Will these bullets get me out to 500-600 yards with accuaracy and power. anyone have any info on them. This gun will be used for paper, steel and game Thanks [/QUOTE]
