[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 898931, member: 12995"] 1. How would you rechamber a short-action rifle to a long-action caliber without it being a complete pain in the ***? 2. Why the .300 WM for 300 yard deer shooting, when I can kill deer at 200 yards with a .17 Rem Fireball? That's overkill. 3. 6mmBR over a .308 Win? Barrel life won't be anywhere near comparable, and the 6mm is a .243 caliber bullet...Which is not what I would pick for hunting over the .308... I would tell him to pick a .257 Roberts or 7mm-08, or .260 Rem over the 6mmBR for hunting. The 6.5-284 would also make a great option, as Berger makes the 140 VLD's, and Lapua makes brass for it. None of your post makes any sense... Also, the .308 Win will make him a better shooter. The .308 Win is the best training caliber there is for 1K, because it teaches him drop, windage, and flight times. It also has low recoil, uses less powder, is an easy caliber to load for, and has great barrel life. [/QUOTE]
