[QUOTE="dirtball, post: 348222, member: 7344"] [FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="2"]If you are trying to take deer sized animals out to 800 yds with a 6mm you need to use as heavy a bullet as possible, 115 gr. I have a 240 Gibbs, which I love. 30" Shilen 8 twist, SSG brake, 115 gr Berger VLD's at 3250, 100 yd "0" 19.50 +/- MOA @ 1,000yds. NOT barrel friendly, but have taken Antelope 1@610 and 1@870yds several others between 150 and 500 yds. Have not shot any deer over 350 yds with it yet, hard to find a long range deer place in N. VA. Decide what you are going to use the rifle for, if it is for "hunting" a 1,000 rounds is probably YEARS! If you are going to shoot it a LOT then a more barrel friendly caliber would be better BUT I would suggest you reconsider how far you shoot at larger animals. Dave[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
