Re: LR in varment riffles

Hey, Guy, take a look at the Rifles/Reloading/Hunting forums and get an idea or two as to what is available and what might fit your needs. After that, ask again when you have done some research(use the Search function).

Not trying to bust your chops, but you need to get some idea of what is available and figure out how much money you want to spend. Then, we can help you more.

Welcome to the Hide,

Re: LR in varment riffles

How far do you want to go and what are you going to be hunting?

Quoting Dave Tooley from another thread:

"Here's your questions that need to be answered in this order.
Pick your distance, look at accurate bullets availalbe with a BC high enough to get the job done, decide on the velocity needed, look for good quality brass then pick your cartridge."

Once you've come down with the sickness this should make for some interesting reading:
