Looks like the Nikon Black range 4k is the best for his budget, according to the article.

The newest caliber to add to your AR10 wish list is the 8.6 BLK. A shortened 6.5 Creedmore case with a 338 bullet going subsonic (300 grains) has more energy at 300 yards than a 308 has at the muzzle. And with a can, very quiet. A 1 in 3" twist will cut through game like a blender.

I have a 6 TCU carbine I've recently purchase and my fire forming loads were amazingly accurate. This cartridge is the ballistic twin of the 6x45 with an improved shoulder. Get a Contender and pick up a few barrels for it. The platform can grow up with the girls.

Barnes data shows it to be a tenth of a grain under max. Federal primers are softer than some. Barnes data shows Rem 9 1/2 primers and Rem cases. It does look a bit hot to me. Measure the web's to be sure.

Just bought some Leverevelution but haven't tried it yet.

I just got some Lehigh ME's to try in my 300 BLK. The reviews seem very promising. Here's a link to a YouTube guy who tests both Hornady and Lehigh.

I am working up some loads for my 6mm Remington 95 grain pills using H100V, H4350, and IMR 4451. So far, the H100V looks very good. I haven't seen anyone loading 6.5 StaBall in this round, but it seems to me, to be well suited for it. Does anyone have experience with it in 6 rem.?

I think recoil velocity vs. recoil can be calculated. The weight of the propellant charge added to the weight of the bullet is part of the equation. Velocity and PSI of the load also are factors. I've become more recoil sensitive as I get older and anything that reduces the recoil velocity I'm...

I don't have the ability to figure this option out, but have you considered a monolithic lighter bullet? A Barnes 175 gr. LRX leaves a 300 WSM at 3100+ fps. It doesn't have quite the same BC as the 215 Hybrid (a target bullet), but the extra 400 fps might work out the same or better. The...

I recently watched a YouTube video comparing an Xbolt and a Tika T3. They were not 300 RUM, but, the reviewer noticed the Xbolt had very bad stock flex and a poor trigger pull. It managed to put together a great 1000 yard group, but didn't group at 100 yards. I feel the stock is probably your...

Depending on your state hunting regs, the 22 caliber rifles may not be an option. If they are legal an AR15 in 224 Valkyrie with a brake would be perfect. Otherwise, a 6 ARC would work. Use the MSR platform, with a brake, and you'd be golden.

I recommend a T/C Contender carbine. 16 inch barrel in a caliber like 300 BLK. They are very accurate, light to carry, and a suppressor can make them very quiet. They can grow with the child and many caliber barrels are available.

I'd go with a 280 A.I. or 6.5 Creed. If you can get a barrel from Lothar Walther, Mocgowan Precision, or Shilon. A Boyd's stock would work.

I seem to recall the man who invented the Horus vision reticle used it for long range donkey culling in Australia. He once told me he got 2nd and third shot kills at a mile with his rifle and scope combo. Can't remember the rifle he was using. He also created a ballistics app for mini computers...

Do you live bear me?
