What to build? Hmmmm....... POLL ADDED

  Those 115's that hard to come by?

I assume you're talking about the RBT DTACs. And yes, they're not available anywhere. The Nosler RDF's are new to the market and show promise with a BC significantly higher than Berger 105 Hybrids. Sierra is coming out with 110's that will rival the DTACs, just hope that they're legit and available.

Tubb would of had a hand in the 110's as well? I had a fast twist .243 for a while and used both the 105's and 115's, I ended up going with 105's and traded BC for TOF. Maybe the 110's will be a happy medium?

I vote a .277 variant, just cause im partial to the .270 and rather have someone else do the testing before i pull the trigger. Lol

I just ordered a couple boxes of the RDF's off SPS for my .243.  Pretty much settled on the 6x47 or the 6.5-06ai.  Wanting something not so "vanilla".

Hey Lil buddy why not just keep it 243 ? And bui,d a 338 too

because 300gr bergers are expensive and I already have a .243

So you went French vanilla with sprinkles?

Split the difference between the 6x47 and the 6.5 -06ai and go with a 6-284. You'll eat barrels up pretty quick, but it's a smoking fast 6mm.

aren't you doing a .270 ackley or something?

Im thinking about it, have a brand new action in the safe just trying to figure what i want out, have hundreds of .270 brass so anything off that case or a stainless fluted lightweight sporter .280 ackley to pair with my carbon one.  I really do like the 6.5-06 ackley also.

The hunter is always right my friend...

I went to the Sportsmans Warehouse in Tucson today, trolling. They had to call 9-1-1 to check to see if I had a heart attack. They had Norma 6.5x284 brass, Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor and 6.5 Grendel brass...They had powder of all sorts, Bullets of different brands. I'll go back after I count what I have.

[ASHQUACK]

I'm going to add a caliber suggestion, I always wanted to build one of these, .22 eargesplitten loudenboomer.
Yes, it's really a thing.

     stuff has definitely gotten a lot easier to find here lately which is nice

[elkaholic123]

How about a 6.5 x .284 Shehane, with a long Lilja tube?
