Just got a new upper & lower from Gibbz Arms for an LR-308.
Was looking at building a 6.5 PRC since I have a 6.5CM in a bolt gun and wanted something with a little more 'umph'. I even considered a .300 WSM. Then I tried to find a bolt with a .540 bolt face.
You would think with the upcoming popularity of the PRC cartridges, someone would make bolts to fit them.
So now I am stuck with calibers that use the standard .308 bolt. I am looking at 338 Federal, 375 Raptor or ???
I will want it to be deer capable out to 400, maybe 500 yards and also trying to keep the per shot cost under 3 bucks/pew.
Suggestions?
