    Which single stage kit?

    Or would it be worth piecing together a kit on my own?

    Antelope/Mule Deer Caliber Recs

    I had been leaning towards a .264 but then I started looking into availability and it looks like it would be a LOT easier to find a .257 Wby Mag, 25-.06, or 6.5x55 Swede than any of the others. Another thing is I want to get into coyote hunting and outside of my patrol rifle, don't really have...

    How would wind affect a 150gr SST in 30-.06 as compared to the common 6mm calibers?

    That is specifically what I'm after, a rifle capable of 400yd accuracy and clean killing. But I would expect most shots to be 200-300yd range.

    I'm sure most all of you have already been to this site, but I just found it and it has some great information on all of the calibers discussed here. I didn't know much about the .264 Win Mag but looks like that rifle, coupled with a 120gr Barnes TSX would be pretty devastating...

    I HAVE shot a goat when I lived in northern Colorado with my 30-.06 at roughly 250-300yds.... But I have my wife convinced I need a more flat shooting western plains rifle for our future trips. One benefit to having a wife who also hunts.

    What are your ballistics on the .260 out to the 300-400yd ranges? From what I understand, the .260 is ballistically similar to the 6.5x55 Swede, or am I thinking of another of the 6mm calibers?

    Wife and I are wanting to start taking some trips chasing speed goats in the next couple years and I think it's an excuse for me to get a new rifle :) She is going to be getting a 7mm-08 and I currently have a 30-.06. Of course, I could probably develop some 30-.06 loads to reach out and touch...
