6 Grendel or Bart's version the 6 Grinch. Long throat and a fast twist barrel.

@NWARvet,

Are you just target shooting to 500 yards?
Or do you have hunting opportunities to 500 yards?

If just target shooting to 500 yards, I was going to say something like the 250 Savage or AI.
Paired with a 90gr Sierra BlitzKing it's a good coyote gun through 400 yards.
100gr and heavier bullets work for deer at shorter distances.

If hunting opportunities to 500 yards, then I'd go with the 7mm-08AI.
With a 22" barrel and a 140gr Berger VLD or Nosler Ballistic Tip gives you plenty of punch for deer through 500 yards.
100gr Sierra HP Varmint are good medicine for coyotes.
You can shoot heavier bullets, but like anything, you need to throat it properly.

A fast twist .224 should spice-up your life!

6 GT wet my taste

.257 Kulzer is a fairly new cartridge, the boys at Deep Creek have been shooting 1K competition and winning for few years now, and It is placing at the top in 1K and 600 yard competition in Williamsport and Florida

I'm starting to look for a new round, and I know a lot of people will say... well what are you going to use it for?
well. I'm thinking to start off with let's think about accuracy out to 500, then I'd like to consider it in a bolt action set up and lastly, for everything between coyotes to white tail for hunting. (And no, I'm not looking for any "very common rounds" I'd love to hear from the out of the box thinkers. I respect all. but I'd like to get a little weird with this one. haha
so, let's hear the comments, please and thank you.

6.5 Grendel or more outside the box...25 Grendel

Neck a 6.5 prc down to .257. Put enough freebore in it to run the 135 Bergers at the right depth. And give the shoulder a 40 degree angle.

Better bullets available for the 6.5.

Be the first on your block with the 6.5x57 Ackley Improved.

284 Win in the middle and my own 6mm x284 short on each side it shot pretty good at 600 yds .. I made my own form dies and reloading dies . The only problem was my scope was only 24 power and everyone was using 36 or higher power scopes .

Look at you guys pushing your wildcats at a Newby! Go easy on him. Little steps, please! I suggested the Dasher because it’s a great performer and dies, brass and load info are readily available. We have to draw these guys in slowly, bit by bit.

 

[Dgd6mm]

A 6br or variant that you can purchase brass for.

Howdy !

Well… the OP DID say:

- “… starting to look for a new round “.

- “…not looking for any very common rounds “.

- “…love to hear from the out[ side ] of the box thinkers “.

- “…like to get a little weird with this one “.

Sounded like a “wildcat “, to me !

I designed, case formed, and did load development on my first wildcat; after having been doing CF reloading for only 2yr ( I was 21 at the time ).

That effort resulted in a great wildcat, tailored to me my specific shooting needs.
Right now, I am getting ready to send the reamer for this wildcat, rifle action, action
wrench; and sample cases along with a new Bartlein gain twist off to the riflesmith.
This will be my third barrel chambered for this wildcat… all having different twist rates and barrel lengths.

There can be a lot of appeal in wildcatting.
IMHO…. a lot of shooters who ARE capable of working w/ wildcats don’t….
many ( incorrectly ) believing a wildcat project lies beyond the scope of their abilities/capabilities.

Let us not “ sell ourselves short “.


With regards,

Find a Ruger #1 or an 1885 or a breakbarrel in 30-06 and rechamber it for 30R Blaser, or build one and use the 30R case as a base for a 7mm or something bigger than 30cal. Or search for a Merkel or Blaser, FAIR, Sabatti, or EU brand singleshot already bulit in 30R.

There are several wildcats made from the 284 Win used for 1000 yd. competition.
