    the next build.... somthing... longer legged ?

    So, I already have a short 6.5 Grendel, then a mid 7mm saum, my 6.5 saum shoote mid-long... id like a dedicated capable long range rig.. and im thinking along the lines of a 7mm-300prc, what are y9our thoughts ? somthing to lob those bigger 7mm projectiles down a decent whack.

    Anything else someone can recommend ? 300prc ? - i like the idea of semi custom cartridges.

    The Aussie long range gun guy on YouTube was shooting at a plate at 1900 yards I think it was , with a Marlin 1895 .... Standing !!
    Plenty of vids of guys shooting 1000 yards with the old single shot rifles , but as Micky said , probably the longer cartridge .

    Must be coming down with snow on it ....

    G'day,
    How popular is the 7mm Practical over there?
    I've read a bit on it.

    Just buy that 7mm Blaser Mag that was on here, Tikka T3 with a Bartlein 26" Barrel for 2k flat.

    I'd be buying it if I didn't already have a custom 28 Nosler

    300NM. 225 eldm. Comparable ballistics to a 338lm out to 1300, then the norma can really shine if loaded appropriately.

    Don't tell every one as the 225eldm are still easy enough to get!
