[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1235632, member: 14204"] Glad to see you took my advice and re-posted it here for better visibility. Now prepare yourself to decipher the recommendations that best fits your personal situation/application. You've gotten excellent advice thus far. My personal choice would be is to stay with .308 cal with the venerable .30-06 (or improved variant) chambering ... plenty of brass available to choose from. I'd get the barrel with the recommended twist rate for the bullet your going to use (i.e. 1:9" of faster for Berger 215/230s). My personal choice would be 1:9" twist in 26" barrel. We have a few guys here that are propelling the 215s at the 1500+ yard mark. Good luck on your project and happy safe hunting/shooting. Cheers! Ed [/QUOTE]
