My current plans is to take a step down from the 6mm CM idea to a 22 CM.

I have a M700 .308 HB that's been fed a steady diet of 110 gr. VMax handloads and is due for a re-barrel. Might as well go further than just that. Don't want the rock chuck's to be offended.

I figure a 7 twist will handle a 75 gr. - 80 gr. ELD-M just fine. A simple barrel - no fluting, coating, or muzzle break. Just a matte finish as I plan on shooting the throat out regular like and I want to keep the costs of barrel set backs and re-barreling down.

Trigger Tech, and likely a McMillan Hunter of some kind.

I'm ready for a change in optics so I'm currently looking at what's available in a variable up to ~24x.


It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.
