[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 2717780, member: 33119"] I don't know what action you have or if you reload but if I was going to build on a long action with a ~.470 bolt face I would run a .280, .280AI, or a 6.5x55 Sweede. With good brass and high BC bullets available for both long range target/hunting there is not much to dislike. Recoil is very manageable and you can take anything up to and including moose. There are several good and great custom builders around (Jon Beanland in Gould OK and Steve Baldwin in Jones OK) are some and there are others outside the state. If you will give more info on your budget, primary rifle use, action type (Rem, Win, Savage, etc) I can give you more things to ponder. I've been where you are now and worked through the process. It's not difficult but it can be time consuming and expensive. [/QUOTE]
