[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1249708, member: 12995"] .260 Remington Lapua makes brass for it. 6.5mm caliber has tons of bullet options. Low recoil. Good velocity. Easy on brass and powder consumption. Long barrel life. And capable of shooting steel at 1,000+ yards. 7mm-08 is also a great one. It's basically the exact same cartridge as the .260 Remington, other than neck and bullet diameter. I also noticed you said Howa... They now offer their new Mini-Action rifles in a heavy barrel chambered in 6.5 Grendel. It is not as fast the .260, but is quite impressive on ballistics. It has extremely light recoil, Hornady and Lapua both make brass for it. And factory match-grade ammo is available from Hornady for around $20-25 a box. So it's very economical to shoot, too. It's a very fun caliber to plink with. I built an AR in 6.5 Grendel last year. [/QUOTE]
