Thread: Alpine Rifle - Factory Ammo

Haha yeah 284 would be great. Its a shame there is no factory support for it or any other short action 7mm with a bit more grunt than the 7mm08.

Reloading though sounds like you could make whatever caliber you wanted work, like the Duleys 270 etc and all the cut down 7mm rem mags like stagstalkers.

300wsm would seem like a great option, might just kick too much for me in a light and shorter barreled suppressed rifle.

Perhaps the 7mm rem mag cut down could just be a good option, running 154gr Superformance or 162 precision hunter ammo. Just thought something like the 6.5 PRC might be better suited to a chop as it is more of a short action cartridge? Not sure if that holds any truth in it or not. Also not sure how the recoil compares between the two or any real world practicality in it and whether the 6.5 projectiles would be suitable for anchoring down Red Stags and Bull Tahr beyond 400.

I hadn't really considered a 30/06, that could be worth looking into, and correct, I wouldnt be doing much time at the range with the rifle.

Cheers for all the feedback guys. The dreams and ideas continue!
