[QUOTE="Dr Strangelove, post: 2262702, member: 119422"] Hi all! I posted in my intro thread that I’ve recently picked up a cheap Mark X barreled action. It’s currently sporting a shot out .308 barrel but could accept a LA cartridge (which would probably feed slightly better too). As I have a .308 already, I’m wondering what would be a good calibre option for a rebarrel. Primary use will be longer range (1000yds+) target shooting but potentially hunting as well, later on down the line. I’d rather not have the bolt face opened out so that limits me somewhat… I handload so niche/unusual calibres wouldn’t be an issue. It won’t see a huge amount of use, either. I’m tending towards a 6.5 or 7mm bullet. The Sherman family did appeal to me as I don’t think there are that many over here in the UK! However a mate also said a .284Win could achieve 2,800fps with 180gr bullets and the right powder so that’s definitely an option as well… Any thoughts/experiences (positive or negative!) etc would be greatly received! Many thanks, Dr. S [/QUOTE]
