I'd like to get my dad a bipod for Christmas. I have a Modular Evolution (ME) and an Atlas of my own that I bought years ago. They work well overall. I prefer the robustness of the Atlas for shooting prone and the optional extension legs on the ME for hunting. I would buy another ME, but I wish...

Or suppressor if there are any good recommendations

Muzzle brake for sure. Terminator t3 likely.

I will have a hefty muzzle brake on this gun regardless of caliber - probably a terminator T3.

Would it make any sense for me to jump to a 338, keeping in mind the light weight of the rifle (8.5lb complete)? Don't want to be shooting a Lapua, etc at that weight, or I will have some expensive dentist bills.

It's factory ammunition really a consideration anymore?? (None available) :D I already have a win mag. Looking for a little more horsepower.

Silly me. I thought I'd post online and get help choosing a cartridge. I'm more confused than ever! o_O (Joking, kind of)

That might be true with the pressure being equal for all of them, but if I'm understanding correctly, they all have different allowable pressure?? Doesn't shooting them all at the same pressure kind of defeat the purpose of different cartridges?

Is this a problem in a bolt gun?

It's posts like this that scare me - prc is equivalent to a win mag. I don't want to be near any win mag shooting 245s at 2900/3000 fps! Reading the prc posts stating 2900+ fps make me want to jump on board. Then there are 10 people who say it's a win mag, which is more like 2700 fps in my...

Is there a list anywhere that documents the case capacities and other pertinent info on all of these cartridges? If not, there should be!

So why hasn't Hornady thought of this in their design with the PhDs they probably have involved in the project? I don't know anything about the developer of the Sherman design, but I would imagine it's hard to improve upon the extensive knowledge that the Hornady team should have. Just my...

Any more info on this? Thanks!

What suppressor are you using?

I'm not I'm not familiar with the Ackley cartridges, other than hearing their name.
