6.5x57R would be a great "practise round" that would also be handy for anything up to "medium" game. However I'd be thinking of something a bit more classic and that "compliments" your other...

The Q/L results with an 18" barrel - 2425 with 27.7gns. Velocity with the Sierra 123gn at 2.26 COAL is the 2430 and pressure just a tad higher - the same for all intents and purposes. You don't...

If its a 280 (or its ballistic twin the 284) you think you need then you can go with the original and not loose a thing, yup 7x64, mine shoots 160's at over 2900 (accuracy load is at 2820, under 3/4...

Most people wouldn't be aware of the Invercargill Rifle Club, just a few guys who like to shoot targets with mostly target style rifles (although we don't have many/any NRA style left). The club...
