[QUOTE="JTB, post: 2171419, member: 97196"] Correct, the 156 Berger EOL and 1:8 will stabilize. In rereading my post I should clarify the the 156 is all I am using for big game if choosing to take a CM. I have a very light CM that I take when backpacking longer distances and the grandkids love to take on hunts (I am getting to that age where carry weight begins to matter). My son is into pack goats so that helps and I think he got into them so we can keep going on longer pack-in hunts : ) This past year I used a 25 CM using the 131 Blackjack and it was perfect out to 860 yards on deer. I don’t know about the MRP in a CM; I use RL26 and H4350 exclusively in the CM. If you are okay with a little more recoil I like the 6.5-284 as others have mentioned. I think my next build will be a 270x280 AI as I have a lot of 270 pills with no rifle sine I converted my 270 WSM to a 25 PRC and I have a LA M70 action with standard bolt face not in use. There is no end to this debate but that is what makes it interesting. Bottom line is that whatever you choose, it will be a great choice and you will find a sweet spot that works for you.
