    Deciding on a 200yd caliber

    I agree that staying with one caliber has a lot of advantages. If I had to do it again, I'd still choose the AICS .223 magazines system for you bolt action rifle and simply seat the bullets out longer to 2.55 inches. It really turns the AR-15 version of the .223 Remington into a different...

    Big 6.5 for long range

    The .300 Norma Brass is some of the very finest I've seen. It is excellent to use as a parent cartridge and short enough to use in a standard length long action. A 6.5mm-300 Norma Magnum has win-win written all over it.

    The great 6.5mm vs. .308 Bullet Debate, but with TERMINAL BALLISTICS

    Who considers a .22 Hornet good enough for Grizzly? How about the worlds largest polar bear? What was the worlds largest polar bear shot with? Thanks right, a .22 Hornet right down the ear channel. So, do "REAL HUNTERS" shoot .22 Hornets when bear hunting?

    Good LR /low recoiling cartridge?

    The great 6.5mm vs. .308 Bullet Debate, but with TERMINAL BALLISTICS

    Seeing how much more often I hit a target shooting a 260 Rem verses a 308 Winchester, I have found it wise to turn this question around. "What is the Terminal Ballistics of a missed shot?" Thats why I do take a 140 over a 168, 175, etc. EVERYDAY of the week!

    Rifle Scopes Best Scope for a GAP-10 - Money no object (almost)

    I'm very much an S&B fanboy but when it comes to an AR-10, I'd pick either 3-24x42 FFP March scope or the very inexpensive but amazingly good Vortex 2.5-10x32 FFP PST.

    Desperate! Need Federal Large Rifle Match Primers!

    I picked the Russian primers, Tula, over all the Federal match, CCI match, etc. several years ago and I've never been disappointed. There is a reason why the top shooters in the country pick Russian primers.

    .220 Thunderbolt precision rifle?

    Which rifle would you "Pull out all the stops" to buy?

    I agree on the DTA. If I had the money I would definitely pick one up. I also get barrels and bolts for just about every caliber .338 and below. That would be so much fun! Edit 2013-12-19: The other awesome rifle would be a custom built Fulton Armory M1A Rear-Lug Scout rifle (18") chambered...

    .220 Thunderbolt precision rifle?

    I've done the required internet reading on the .220 Thunderbolt (6.8 Rem SPC necked down to .223) but was wondering if anyone here has experience with the cartridge? I've found that 6.8 Rem SPC fits into my AICS .223 mags so I could get 2.50" C.O.A.L. which makes for a pretty fast cartridge...
