[QUOTE="LRTactical338, post: 1122107, member: 91528"] I have been looking for a new mid-long range rifle for a couple of months now. I have narrowed a couple options down but I am having a difficult time selecting a cartridge size. I am a big fan of the TAC-308 and Tac-300 models with the G30 actions from McMillan, and pretty much everything from GA Precision. I have a 1,100yrd range that I shoot at on a regular basis. I thought I was set on the .300WM but after hearing about powder consumption, barrel life, recoil and brass being difficult to find, I'm not sure if it's the cartridge I want anymore. I would like a round that still has some punch out to 1,000 which is why I am skeptical of the .308 or 6.5CM. I have heard great things about both cartridges but I would like to hear from some people who have shot both or maybe all three. Realistically this will probably be shot at paper/steel targets 85% of the time but it would be nice to have something with some power if the need should arise. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! [/QUOTE]
