[jcvibby]

Hello Gentlemen and ladies if there are some!!

I need some more of your advise.

If you were to build a gun from a long action with a standard bolt face .473, what caliber would you go with???

Purpose of the gun would be this-

Tac Comp gun
Long range weapon for banging steel
Long range hunting
Paper punching

All you advice and expert opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

280 Ackley.

Yeah, think that about covers it

I'm not familiar with "TAC"....but I'd take a hard look at the .338-06 too if it would work out with your other goals.

6.5x284, strait 284 win or a 284 shehan. 6mmbr.com has tons of info on this so check them out

The 280 ackley is a great choice, I shoot 180 gr berger bullets and have taken elk at over 700 yrds with no problem.
