[QUOTE="ishootkittens, post: 1253278, member: 23225"] Not all shooting has to do with hunting. My 300 norma has gotten me to a mile on steel. I will probably continue to use it for hunting but I would like a cartridge that will fit in a magnum receiver (smaller than a cheytac receiver) and in a "standard" sized stock. I'd like a cartridge with good brass life that has enough boiler room to get a heavy, high b.c. bullet up to enough speed to get me to 2500yds or so without going trans-subsonic. My range goes to almost 3000 yards and would be happy if I could pull that shot off one day. But I would like to explore more options OTHER than the Cheytac case. The Weatherby case has that awful belt and the brass is **** expensive. The Rum was an alternative I was looking at but improving the Rum isn't worth the time for me as there is little to gain. So far the Lapua case is the front runner. It's decently priced and always available. You also gain quite a bit by improving the Lapua case. Case life will be much greater than most of the other choices and with a 375 bullet, barrel life will be increased as well. Energy and diameter will always ensure a clean kill when mistakes are made by the shooter. Cody [/QUOTE]
