[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 1060858, member: 11717"] How about a 300 RCM? Very interesting cartridge to me. Basically a 30-06 on steroids as far as performance goes. .308 Win, 55.8 gr H2O 30-06, 67.1 gr H2O 300 RCM, 71.4 gr H2O 300 WSM, 79.3 gr H2O For any of these my first choice of powder and bullet would 215 Hybrids over RL17. You should be able to reach 600 yds with minimum effective bullet expansion velocity with any of the above... but if it were me, I would opt for the RCM or WSM to have plenty of thump on target and wind bucking capability. Once you start hitting targets @ 600 I'm sure you'll be eager to stretch it out some more. I HIGHLY recommend you do NOT use a short action for the build as you will not be able to efficiently seat long high BC bullets for a repeater. Check out the Curtis action. Good shooting! [/QUOTE]
