[QUOTE="Sid Post, post: 1897675, member: 8907"] That SLR looks like a real winner except it isn't a normal factory load and, it looks like I would have to rebarrel a rifle to shoot it. If I had a dedicated place to setup my reloading gear, I could see that one working well for me. However, at this point I don't really have the bandwidth to setup and teardown my reloading gear to shoot that caliber much (nor the time or finances to run a large number of rounds at one time when I have some time off). Even at $40/box for 6XC while more expensive over time doesn't require as much upfront investment and certainly has the advantage of store bought ammunition if I'm too busy to reload when I need to. I guess I could always go with a 6 Creedmoor but, they run faster than I really want however, when I burn the barrel out I can rebarrel to something else at that time. I'm starting to wonder if an older former military round might now make more sense. Old Mausers had reduced loadings due to design constraints so, soft on the shoulder options should be available. At a point in time when I am ready for a stouter cartridge I can always 'up gun' with a +P version. [/QUOTE]
