[QUOTE="rickiesrevenge, post: 2815660, member: 90095"] You didn't specify if you reload or not. Limiting the range to 400 yards really opens up the cartridges you could shoot. 7mm SAUM would be an excellent choice if you've got brass. 7mm-6.5prc (7mm PRCW) would too since Lapua is making 6.5prc brass. I think a better way to pick the cartridge is choose a bullet or bullets that you want to shoot. Figure out the velocity you need to get them to expand at the distance you intend on shooting them. Most of the cartridges I've shot in SP's lose around 250fps compared to a rifle length barrel. Then look to see what brass you have or can get. [/QUOTE]
