Edit: I also want the ability to buy factory ammo. Last edited by MontanaCreekHunter; 06/30/19. Eat Fish, Wear Grundens, Drink Alaskan.

Even the 338 edge. Not to mention the dozens he has built for pards that do the same. Last edited by fredIII; 06/30/19.

If factory ammo was a deciding factor and searching for a fire breather, I'd be in 7 Rem or 300 Win mode, if stuck on a 30 caliber.

That at 2850+ would be awesome. I could dig that myself. I’ve got a 1-10 twist 300 Ultra now that does great with 220 Scenars. Better shaped Bullets out there but I have a bunch. Now, if I rebarrel, it’ll get an 8 twist barrel and that might be a prime candidate. Semper Fi

Not worried about buying in rural area's. Can reload the brass at that point. I am not stuck on anything at this point. Eat Fish, Wear Grundens, Drink Alaskan.
