[QUOTE="desertcj, post: 1397071, member: 22225"] Guys, the ARC Nucleus action he is getting is threaded for small shank Savage barrels(1.062"x20). I'm not sure that a WSM diameter case is a great idea? Savage didn't think so. You say 22" barrel and also out to 800yds. 800 is a long ways no matter how you cut it and to do it, I personally would want a 26" minimum and also probably NOT a short action cartridge. All those things aside, I would go 7mm-08 Ackley or just standard 7mm-08. I would expect that you could hit 2800fps with a 162gr bullet. No promises obviously and I also can't say that you will find accuracy at 2800fps either. [/QUOTE]
