[QUOTE="JDD, post: 2196516, member: 102774"] Unless your are building a rifle for prs competition I would avoid the 6mm47 . It is a fine accurate round that launches high bc Bullets. It’s chosen for prs because of minimal recoil and the ability to allow a shooter to recover quickly from recoil during a timed event If you want a rifle that it would do it all look at 6.5 mm as a minimal and possibly a 7mm. First your build a precision rifle! You will out grow your 500 yard statement in no time especially if you choose a better suited round. The secret to a 1000 yard rifle is 3000 FPS sending the heaviest high bc Bullet you can handle recoil for. BC or ballistic coefficient is a way of grading a Bullet ability to resist wind and loss of velocity. It’s related to shape , diameter, weight! A 6mm and a 338 cal Bullet can have a similar BC . If sent at the same speed the should resist conditions about the same in theory. The difference is the 338 projectile will require more energy to start at the same speed, therefore there will be more recoil! The 338 Bullet will be easier to see Bullet trace for, see impact marks/Bullet holes and in the case of long range misse impact off the target. the 6mm makes a fair antelope whitetail round. The 6.5 will handle elk with proper Bullets ! 7mm hits much harder and has enough bc to be of use. With the bolt face you have I would look at the 6.5 prs , or 260 ackley improved or one of the sherman wildcats. The both will get you 3000 with 147 With the 7mm the 7/08 improved or a 7mm prs wildcat will get you close to 3000 FPS , or have the bolt face opened up the the saum case and shoot the 7saum. I love the bartlien barrels, their new steel is supposed to have a extended throat life. Get the fastest twist you can to shoot heavy high bc Bullets. get some good rings , I like Burris extreme with moa adjustable inserts. jewel trigger Speaking of barrel unless your going to suppress it go no shorter than 26” while your having it built get it threaded for a suppressor /break. let’s talk about rifle weight. Unless you hunting style is long walks in don’t build a light rifle! Light rifles just are not user friendly. More recoil, more sensitive to bench set up and follow through errors. If you 4 wheel in and sit in a shooting house a 9 lb rifle is not a liability [/QUOTE]
