[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1555178, member: 31749"] I went through a similar thought experiment myself... based on the wide range of game you mentioned and keeping inside of the maximum range; with a 20" barrel I'd be tempted to build a straight 284win (that's road I'm currently on, still looking for a Win M70 donor action to start the build). You reload so that's a non-issue. Based on conservative assumptions on velocity loss with barrel length you'd be at least 100-150fps ahead of a 7-08 in that config. If not that, then build a fast twist 308 and run heavies. [/QUOTE]
