[QUOTE="drakehammer, post: 1140161, member: 57010"] If you're serious about reloading and don't mind a little rifle weight in your hunting adventure, I recommend a 6mmBR in one of the Savage target rifle offerings. Lets face it, you will probably have the opportunity to spend more time shooting long range groups on paper than you will hunt. The 6mmBR in factory Savage with an Accutrigger and a good scope will hold its own in a 600 yard benchrest competition all day long once you learn how to build good ammo and shoot. Sub-2 inch groups will be common @ 600 yards. Recoil is almost non existent, barrel life is excellent, small rifle primers are cheap and readily available (namely CCI 450's are all you will ever need), the best brass in the world made by Lapua is available for less than a $1 each, they can be reloaded at least 10 times (or more if you anneal), and they only take 28-30gr of Varget, or RE15, or H4895, or 8208, or 4320 or...... with 105gr Berger hybrids or VLDs. In fact, some of the best bullets in the world are readily available off the shelf that just plain out work with the 6BR. I could go on and on about this option. The 6BR should be much more popular than it is today. I have done the math and I believe this to be the best compromise of cost, high volume comfort, and without a doubt accuracy. I also happen to own everything you mentioned, so I know from experience.
