[QUOTE="Arcticrat, post: 334153, member: 21679"] So second post goes here. Putting together a custom build, already own a Sako Quad 22lr, Rem 700 Varmint 308W. I have been reading everything I can get my hands on regarding which caliber to choose. It's not gonna be one of the bigger .30. As much as I would like a 338LM the components are expensive. So I went down a notch, and in Europe the 6.5x55 is a very popular (yawn) round. Its like a beige volvo. Now I am just getting into handloading, so there are some in the 6.5mm family that look interesting 6.5x47 and the 6.5x284. Both seem to keep supersonic at 1000m+. The question is which one? I have heard alot about barrel burner when it comes to the .284 is this true? And is the .47 good at these distances? If anyone else has a caliber they can recommend? The build will look something like this : McMillan A5 Krieger SS ~26" , 0.9 RH 702RT action (similar to surgeon) magazine fed Jewell trigger 20 MOA picatinny NF 3.5-15x50 F1 [/QUOTE]
