[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2029426, member: 61747"] A little bit of the challenge will be the barrel supporting the can. I run carbon barrels for added strength and a bit shorter. I have a 22" PRC now and my new 18" barrel will be here within the week. I have light hunter that runs 8lbs with the scope and can and my primary rifle is a folding chassis that is 10 lbs ready to shoot and pictured below. I will put the 18" barrel on it and I have dominus can on order. Overall the rifle will be slightly lighter and 6" shorter in the end. I should still be pushed a 135 at 3000 and 140's in the 2900-2950 range. I'd expect 2800-2850 out of a 156 but probably won't shoot those anyway. For Deer just about anything will work. I'd look at the 6mm's, 6.5's, and 7's in the short action cartridge options. If you hunt elk then maybe a PRC/saum/sherman or a long action like the 280AI cartridges. Lots and lots of choices but if you want to reduce weight I'd go short action. [/QUOTE]
