Guys,
Appreciate the input but no Swedes... Nothing personal, however, it fails to move me even though I know it is an excellent cartridge. If I were going to make it into a strict hunting rifle I would exchange a portion of the brass for 7mm-08 Lapua and make it a Short Action Sporter... I'd say .30-06', however, it fails to address the "plinking" part of the equation and it bores me to tears. I have .308 Winchesters & .300 Winchester Magnums from the finest makers in the land...
The heavier 6.5mm bit is a longer range plinker thought... Remember, pile of H4350, looking to use some of that, and send 130 grain plus 6.5mm pills down range to hit steel, varmint, or merely to antagonize the neighbor's cat. Which is really a reward in itself...(grin)
Regards, Matt.
