[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 953738, member: 48559"] You asked for opinions. I am currently putting together a rifle in 280 Ackley, which lets me use high BC 7mm bullets (excellent wind drift characteristics) but since you want to shoot factory ammo, the parent case is the 280 Remington. Not as prolific as the venerable 30.06 or .308, but still can be found on store shelves if you look. The real advantage for you will be when you reach the level in your shooting where you want to handload and spice things up a bit: a gunsmith can ream your rifle chamber to Ackley for a reasonable cost, and you get performance just a bit less than 7mag, but with more comfortable recoil. Put a brake on it and it'll be a real pussycat. [/QUOTE]
