[QUOTE="JTB, post: 2170746, member: 97196"] If the Creedmoor is on your shortlist, that will be a great choice. There is some hype involved but it is a great round. I would recommend starting with Lapua SRP brass because they last longer and perform well at higher pressures. If you can get your hands on RL26 and small rifle magnum primers it will deliver some impressive performance. Have the barrel throated for the 156 EOL since you seem to have the room; that combo is all we use for big game now and I run them at 2800 fps. That will get you 1500 ft/lbs out to about 650 and 1000 ft/lbs out to about 1000 yards. [/QUOTE]
