[QUOTE="DZelenka, post: 472058, member: 20543"] Poor choice of words on my part. I understand the wind issue very well. As you pointed out, the main issue is factory ammo. That really knocks out things like the 6.5-284 since the ammo sources are limited. I am leaning toward the .270 WSM with the 140 Accubond. That probably gives as good a combination of velocity and BC as any cartridge with reasonably available ammunition. I am getting ready to build a 7WSM on a 700 LA. He decided he wants a new rifle too. Problem is he doesn't handload otherwise I would just have the gunsmith build 2 of the 7WSMs. Maybe he will go that route with a shorter throat designed to shoot factory ammo. When I look at the factory fodder, I keep coming back to the .270 WSM. .257 and .270 Weatherbys have ammo availability issues. 7mm STW maybe? 7Rem? I am looking for ideas. [/QUOTE]
