[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1116369, member: 7999"] These threads are always lots of fun. So I will shake it up a bit. Efficient is a relative term, right? So as of late I have been considering a new rifle that I think would be extremely efficient. So what I want to build is a .375-.338 Lap Imp. I just cut some 400g pills that I dropped off to Kirby yesterday that he is going to give a go. The 338 Lapua brass among the best brass currently if not the best. Can be shot many times so the cost of brass goes down in the end. Cost of powder and bullets would be more compared to any of the smaller rounds mentioned. But then comes in that term efficient. Which to me means what you get for what you put in. So this rifle would run a 400g projectile at 2800+ fps and offer 4300 ft/lbs of energy at 600 yards. All this with just 105g of powder. Then if you feel like it you can run it out to 1000 yards and still have 3000 ft/lbs of energy. All this in a 10-12 lb carry rifle. How cool would that be! Steve [/QUOTE]
