[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 27578, member: 8947"] Just got the reamer for a 6.5-08AI. Closest commerical cartridge would be a 260Rem AI. Should be fine for 800yd deer with 140gr class bullets out of a 26" pipe. Lighter bullets would work great for varmints. You would be able to fireform commercial brass to form cases. Of course, the 6.5X284 Win would also work fine. In the 7mm class, I would look at the 280 Rem. Friend is having great success with the 168gr MK out at 1km. They way it hits the plates, I would not hesitate to take a whitetail at 800yds. For a 30cal, I would lean towards the 300WSM. Just gotta love these cases. You can always open the bolt face. I shoot a 30Gibbs which has very similar performance. Because this is a wildcat, no go for you. The 165gr SST or BT would be my first choice. Jerry [/QUOTE]
