I have a Rem 700 LA on hand and a Krieger 1:9 .284 MTU contour barrel on it's way. I have Gary Ocock lined up to put everything together.
Original plan was 7mm Rem Mag, but after reading many posts and then checking out the 6mmBR.com section on 7mm's I'm having second thoughts.
I want a 1K plus gun, however most distances would be local ranges which is 600 yards max.
I will be reloading for this rifle. I HAVE NEVER RELOADED BEFORE, THIS WILL BE MY FIRST FORAY INTO THIS! (just started buying components) I need something that I don't have to reform one brass caliber for what I'm shooting. I'd like to get multiple reloads from the shells. And would prefer a barrel that wasn't shot out after break in and load development.
I want a caliber that can punch steel, as well as bring down North American game.
I am now up in the air over the following calibers: 7mm RM, 7mm WSM, or .284 Winchester. (barrel will sport an FTE break)
For a cherry to reloading what would be a good fit for what I'm looking for? Opinions and advice appreciated.
