The farthest range we have around here is 300yards. So that's what I'm plannin a 500 yard shot isn't out of the question either. I'll probablly be hand loading, I want a heavy barrel gun I'll probably hunt small stuff with it and I do want a bolt action. I was thinking a .223 but someone said about a 6mm remington and a 7mm which I own a 6mm but it isn't quite what I'd call a solid gun. As far as money goes, I'm no millionaire. I make minimum wage so if I can save money and not go all crazy then I'd prefer to do that.
