I know this question has been asked many times but most of the threads look pretty old.
I shoot F-Open. So far at 300 and 600 with a Savage 6.5-284. I'm going to need a new barrel the end of this year so it's probably a good time to change calibers. I may occasionally get a chance to shoot 1000 but its club matches not the US Nationals.
I've had recommendation for 6BR since I mostly shoot midrange its very accurate and easy to load for, and 284 Win since it's king of 1000 at the moment.
Like everyone else components are an issue I have a ton of 6.5 bullets and a good supply of SRP so I'm thinking 6.5x47 might be a good option. Very accurate and capable of 1000 without breaking the bank.
I do see the 7mm and 6mm projectiles are starting to come back but pretty expensive compared to what I have on hand.
What do you guys think?
