[QUOTE="jpndave, post: 2374852, member: 5437"] I'm building a similar rifle. Going with a 300 PRC or possibly the 30 SM. The Sherman is basically an "Ackley" 300 PRC and will gain a little bit of speed with the usual Ackley type plus/minus. I'll be honest and that last Sherman bashing thread mess has me a bit soured on the whole idea. That and I'm building rifles for several buddies and one of them isn't going to want to rely on reloads for optimum performance. We'll see. I'll be ~25" barrel, probably a carbon Bartlein #4 though I am still wavering back and forth on that. Defiance action is on order. You'll get a lot saying that's not big enough, etc. You just have to weigh out how big, heavy you are ok with on the rifle and how much boom/hit you are willing to take. If you want to see theoretical potentials I'd be happy to run a few QuickLOAD projections for you. I have been doing that a lot lately. [/QUOTE]
