[QUOTE="436, post: 1748435, member: 16609"] Well, in your post it kinda reads like you're going to keep the shots within a reasonable range, wanting to use a heavy bullet in a handy field rifle. So, why not just cut too the chase, short 20" barrel with a caliber that won't be so sensitive to bore diameter in velocity, say something in .35 caliber or .375 caliber, of course, .338 is always a possibility, however, I think the aforementioned may have a little more bone-crushing characteristics going for them. Your bullet weight pick is much more achievable with those above caliber I'd think. You did state the action size for the build, so here's my guess for a couple of cartridges'..., I'd take something in the .35 cal perhaps a .350 Remington Mag or .35 Whelen box store cartridges so to say, I have a friend that wildcatted a .375-350 Rem Mag and loves it in his light rifle. Well, good luck... cheers. [/QUOTE]
