    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

    That’s kind of what I’m thinking, I may just put a back order in on a stiller predator and wait it out.

    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

    I decided to go with a 7 rem mag, I have some retumbo and primers on the way. I also ordered my die set yesterday. I haven’t settled on if I wanna build or just try to hunt down a 700 long range for a gun yet. For now I’m just going to try to piece everything else together.

    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

    Ok, I’m just going to take it off as coming off the wrong way. But the majority of the questions you asked I had already answered or was in intitial post. But here we go as a review on what I have so far. Wanting off the shelf brass(no fire forming), 600-1200 steel/paper only(possibly to get...

    I feel like all you want to do is poke at me and try to get me to argue with you, while providing no information or reading what I have posted.

    Ah I completely missed them. Thanks!

    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

    It’s just going to be for ringing steel and punching paper, the 6.5x300 looks wild be seems to be a extreme barrel burner. I could be misinformed from the other posts I’ve read on forums though. I think I’m starting to think on keeping it simple with either a 7 mag or 300 mag now. I also thought...

    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

    Yeah I’m not looking at it from a practicality or a cost savings standpoint. That’s why I am not really replying to the “why magnum” posts. It’s just what I want, and am going to get. Thanks for all who helped out. It got my head spinning on the 225 eldm and the heavier 7mm offerings. Going to...

    Thanks a lot! I wish Remington offered more chamber choices in the long range/sendero rifles.

    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

    What rifle did you start with? And also what advantages would I have with the 184 hybrid over the 225 eldm? The Lapua brass is a very good point on the arguement as well.

    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

    Interesting, I should be able to solve that with the win mag out to that distance. What bullet did you end up swapping to?

    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

    Thanks for all the replies, yes I do understand it’s not as practical or cost efficient as my other 2 i built and that they fit the bill. So I don’t really want to build another short action gun. I’m just looking to build one to scratch my itch, and if I ever get a opportunity to go beyond my...

    Long action is what the plan is.

    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

    The ballistics on those 225s look pretty nasty, has me wanting to look into 30 calls more than a 6.5mm or 7mm now.

    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

    Thanks, I have no problem with the weight whatsoever, so whatever barrel length i need is fine.

    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

    I did not think about 300 prc now that Lapua offers brass for it, what length tube and brake are you running? And also how’s the recoil on it? Thanks.
