[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1073198"] +1 benchracer said... I do a lot of shooting and testing of unleaded bullets. I will hunt with nothing else. 1) Go up one caliber or more from lead. IE if you were going to use .243 go .264 or .277. In your case a non-issue because .284/7mm is plenty of caliber. 2) Get a faster twist than you might. For .284/7mm normal is 9 but 8 would serve you well in the long run. If you go with an 8 twist, your future options will be good. A 9 might be limiting. Since this is already a 30-06 a 280 based design would be "easy" though you may still run into magazine feed issues with those long range coppers. [/QUOTE]
