[QUOTE="Brent, post: 3878, member: 99"] [b]Re: Same old question + a couple I haven\'t seen.-Rifle and caliber?[/b] I like the 308 too. Why not? How important is extra power to you? Do you hunt elk at 500 yards too? Will the first one you build have a custom barrel, factory with what's availible or factory rechambered? Will you want a different caliber at the next step? Why drop down to a WSSM? Do you see yourself going out past 500yds ever in the future? Would you settle with less of something now for more of something else later if that makes any sense? What type of performance do you feel you need in the way of velocity with how heavy of a bullet at the muzzle to get the job done to your expectations at 500 yards first? How do you define performance? Really, to some it means trajectory, some energy with larger diameter bullets, some it's wind bucking ability with enough energy left to penitrate into the heart/lungs is all. What is most important down to least important to you? [/QUOTE]
