I have a Stiller Tac 408 single shot action and I want to make use of it for long range competition work.
The bolt face is made to take standard 0.640" size cartridges such as the Cheytac range.
I have reason to chamber this action with a .30 cal barrel and would like advice on a suitable cartridge. Thinking maybe a shortened Cheytac case so as to not burn out the barrel too fast.
Thinking sort of like a 6mmBRX on steroids shooting the heaviest .30 cal pills at 3000fps out of a stiff 30" barrel.
Rifle will be used for 1500 yard matches, maybe three times a year with 60 to 80 shots per match.
Must be a .30 cal. Calibres over 8mm not permitted in the competition. Any thoughts or options.
