About LinkBacksI agree with pretty much every reply. For what you are looking at then I'd aim for 308, 708 or 270, any will do. The main thing is something that fits. Flat shooting is not really that important for me, if you want just add a rangefinder to the kit and figure out where pill will land at various ranges. Oh, and you don't have to spend a fortune to get a really good accurate rifle.
Reloading costs me about 95c a round for the 243 or 308, and about 40-45c a round for the 223. I find the reloading quite quick. I'll load up a couple of hundred when I do it, but do most of the case prep in stages. If you want to find out about reloading the Gun City do the reloading course for the handloaders club, but anyone can do it. A good way to see what it's all about.

There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
