[QUOTE="7mmAI, post: 148149, member: 8061"] I am having a gunsmith take a weatherby mark 5, 6 lug barreled action and change it to a ackley improved. We are planning on using the same 24 inch barrel that the gun came with{280 remington}. He will recrown, lap the lugs, true the face and probably cut a better chamber than factory. What I am wondering is what bullets would you consider as good choices for long range hunting. My hope is that I will get comfortable out to about 750 yards. Will be hunting mainly mule deer although this gun may also be used for goats, sheep, or possibly even black bear. The bullet that I have my eye on now is the 160 gr accubond. I know nothing about the a-max, mathchkings, gamekings,or berger bullets. They are all probably thin jacketed bullets that may not be appropriate for hunting, this is what I would like some help with. Thanks Dean [/QUOTE]
