My name is Preston, I'm about 20 minutes north east of Bloomington Normal. I've browsed the forum here and there and figured I would make an account. I grew up predominantly hunting upland and shooting trap and skeet. In the last few years I have focused more on pistol shooting and dabbled with 3 gun, and have taken a lot more interest in my rifles. I would like to put together a nice shooter for medium range that I will be able to take on a hunt out west when the opportunity arises. I am leaning towards 7mm or 300wm at the moment, but am trying to better educate myself on what I am looking for before I build another rifle. I spend a lot of time coyote hunting now that the upland game in my area is getting thin and I would like to become more proficient with some of the rifles I already own. I'm fairly new to reloading as well, so I will be using this forum as a learning tool. Thanks in advance for the information.

Heres a few photos of the reloading room and a few of the rifles I've put together recently

Excuse my ignorance, I can't edit my post from my phone to add to the last post. Don't judge my light setup, I do a lot of night hunting by myself so I have to settle for tacticool or grow another set of hands. The 20" is just a rock river 5.56 with a m223 scope. The 16" is a 300 blk craddock precision upper on a seekins lower with a Gisselle SSAe trigger and a 4x32 acog etc. The bolt gun is a savage model 12 with a cheapo 6-24 bsa. The coyote in the picture was the longest shot I've made on a dog at 335 yds with the RRA. I took it right behind my house where I do a majority of my rifle shooting. I can shoot on the lane 4-600 yds comfortably
