What to build with a Rem 700 SA

my first choice was .17 x 114 russian

if you want something light and practical for hunting using a short action - based on a 243/308 parent - then have a look at .25-243(08)imp. This is a .243 case with 40deg shoulders shooting a .25 projectile. You can shoot a (relatively) high BC 117-120gn projectile at +3450fps or go lighter and faster. .25 are renown as being both accurate and very effective killers. Just a thought as I am contemplating converting a .308 rem 788 and this looks like an interesting option!!

Chamber it in the NZHS wildcat :D

338 in a short action surely has to be a 338Fed doesn't it? You have enought screamers, now you just need a stone cold killer. 338Fed fits that bill nicely.

Or I have some 6BR dies that need a home;)

Or a 6.5 Super AR

That would be a Improved Grendel?

I have a 6mm AR Turbo

Sorry 6.5 Super LR.
243 case blown out with a 30deg shoulder. Kinda like a long 6.5x47 Lapua.6.5 Super LR

So basically 260 with touch longer neck?

My Whitley is prize tosser - 6mm Turbo is only thing hes done thats any different in the last 100 years and he wont sell you anything as he thinks hes super special... however it can be achieved ;)
Spose I should shoot mine at some stage - only been 18 months haha

Hey he does LH uppers so he's cool in my book:P

At this stage, it & a sister action will become 6.5 Terminators :thumbsup:

Also in the works are the beginings of a Terminator family of cartridges from .224 up to .375 :cool:

Not quite as fast as a 6.5 wsm but faster than a 6.5-06 ;)

I want to try to offer catridges that are simple/economical enough to make easily, cheapish brass, etc.
That will give great speed, accuracy & will last longer than 3 mininute, ie not too overbore like a 7mm-338 Norma mag or 7mm-300 Rum/improved magnum type performance.
I have .224, 6.5, 7mm, .375 & maybe 300 sorted, as well as 338 Edge & Norma.

6.5 saum?

cool that will be good, all cases what are now or change them slightly to be 7mm treminator etc?

The 7mm & 300 if I do it are on a bigger case, with quite a big change from factory ;)
