thanks for reading this guys. i have been researching for the last couple weeks, and feel like i'm in information overload big time. I already have a custom built 300RUM for hunting, but i start shooting it at rock chucks in the spring, and can't stop a little hard on the barrel. so i'm looking to start a new build.
what i'm looking for:
I have a rem 700SA, so i would like it to fit on that.
barrel life. at least 2000 rounds, would like it to be closer to 2500-3000
barrel length. would like it finished around 22-26 so i can shoot it with a suppressor
want to be able to shoot varmints to 1k
don't want to fireform brass
min recoil
I've been focusing on the .284 win, the 6.5x47, 6-6.5x47, and 7mm-08.
i would like to push a high bc bullet to 2800-3000fps with good barrel life. (is that possible?)
so, if some of you could maybe help me sort my thoughts out a little more.
your recommendations would be great. any of these i should throw out of the mix, or something else i didn't think of that i should be looking at.
thanks again. jon
