[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 3012216, member: 104363"] Too many variables for an easy answer. Your homework will be narrowing down a few bullets that work well under certain boundaries of distance, speed. What will you do with distance and speed; paper punching, steel, rocks, or animals? Then, what cartridge will propel that group of bullets to the speed you need to get to those distances and terminal performance. You should find brackets that all of these will fit into. You may end up with a shorter range and a longer range configuration based on bullets that are terrible at short distance animals but excell at mid to long range based on bullet construction. Mind boggling amount of combinations. So if you can create a spreadsheet for every purpose you want, start there. Then start a down select to narrow it. You're not there yet. Don't forget chambered lengths and what will fit in your mag length. Enjoy the homework. [/QUOTE]
