[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 661280, member: 2736"] A realy good round for what you are looking for is the 6.5x47 Lapua. (Look at the ballistics). Very accurate, very little recoil,great brass,fits is any short action,ETc. I would use a # 4 or #5 contour 1 in 9 or 1 in 8 twist stainless barrel 22" to 24" long. You could go a little lighter on the barrel But I wouldn't. Get a good stock and a light weight scope (12 oz to 20oz) and the weight should be fine. Just something to think about. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
