[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 1752525, member: 73596"] I think that many of the 6mm cartridges that are known for extreme efficiency (ratio of powder capacity to velocity attained) is where you will find a winner. The fun thing about this, is that the user of the rifle won't 'outgrow' the caliber. One example would be the 6mm Dasher. You can easily get 2900 fps out of a 105 class bullet, with only 32-33 grains of powder. Having just built one of these rifles with a 25" barrel, and laminate stock (estimate 10lbs total with scope), I can tell you that with the suppressor on, both the muzzle blast and the recoil are minimal. Also, there is a recoil calculator in the front of one of the forum sections. You know what the rifle is going to weigh, input the starting charge for different calibers with the book velocities for certain bullets and you will have your answers based on real math data. That would be my suggestion. [/QUOTE]
