[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2923659, member: 1951"] To me, I take kind of an engineers approach… I like: > 0.264” caliber because of the marginal performance of some 6.5’s by some hunters on the biggest elk. It is still usable, but not preferred. max distance = max current range + 25% so, 500 yards…..yards because no American thinks in meters, right?? >2000 fps at max range or 500 yards. This is for good bullet performance, even with monos. head height - If possible, I’d choose a newer design as head height is much better in those. On customs, most fix this by lengthening throats, but factory rounds need a high head height design. Last, I like Lapua, Peterson, or ADG brass availability So, 6.8 western, 7 PRC, 300 PRC maybe give up some head height and look at 7mm-08, 270 Win, 280ai, 7 SAUM [/QUOTE]
