Catfish, not to single you out but I've read this a number of times on the board: "If you're just building a hunting rifle then..."
My apologies and should have explained better earlier in this thread. I'll be hunting groundhogs, not biggame. And attempting them at long range which is 400 yards and beyond.
That puts me on the road to needing a rifle that is better than the average deer rifle. Fortunately (at least for me) I don't use PBR when zero'ing my guns so that really won't affect me.
If you went with a 6mm Rem, how would you load from the magazine and seat your bullets just off the lands in a SA? Or would you just try for an accurate load with Factory OAL?
Single loading is not an option.
Rocky, the 260 Rem seems good, just need more info from users. Hornady has a 95gr Vmax which seems light. I was hoping to find a heavy for caliber bullet for groundhogs that would buck wind to 600 or so yards.
Thanks,
Allen
