I have just picked up a long action Rem 700 ADL in 300 win mag as a donor action. I want a cartridge for 1500-ish yards. I would like input on what can be built on this action which has: decent barrel life, affordable to shoot, good to great ballistics to the above distance.
Re: New rifle project, need caliber input please!!!
300WM will do 1500Y with heavies.
7WSM 7-300WSM. From what I've read you can get from 1500 to 2500 rounds for the barrel life.
Or my wildcat cartridge 30-375R.240's at 2880fps.

go 7-300WSM, and load them long since you have a long action. 300WSM will never come close to a 7.

Thats good info, thanks. I was talking with a local smith yesterday and he suggested the 7-300wsm loaded long as well.
