    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...

    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

    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.
  14. Tactical_Hunter

    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

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

    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.

    Magnum caliber for 600-1000+

    I’m looking at building a new gun primarily for hitting steel from 600 out to roughly 1200yd. I already have a 308 that was my first long range build, and my 243 AI. This go around I’m looking at building something with a little more punch. I’m leaning towards 264 win mag, but am really wanting...

    Gunsmithing Tubs 4-way on a manners stock?

    "Have a Warner Tool Co. 6way adjustable butt plate installed. Tubb's 3 way adjustable butt plates are lacking in several areas." Why do you think it is lacking? The only but plate assemblies I am really considering are the ones offered by manners, so I can have it ready to go straight from them.

    Gunsmithing Tubs 4-way on a manners stock?

    I am getting ready to order my manners t4a mini chassis stock, but I am wanting to have an adjustable length of pull. I talked to manners and they say that they can put a tubs 4-way on my stock when I order it. I am wondering how good the tubs system is? Or should I stick with the manners spacer...

    Is it anything similar to a 450 nitro express? Edit March, 96 Rifle I know this probably don't help much but in this article it mentions a 454 Swahili

    Gunsmithing WTB manners stock?

    After adding up the cost of cheap stock, dbm kit, inleting stock, bedding to action for my remington 700 varmint. I have decided to go with a manners mini-chassis. I'm specifically looking for a manners T4 mcs with badger bdm in coyote tan, but I can't find one in stock anywhere. Looking at...
