After taking your advice to buy a rifle, now it's my turn to suggest you do the same.

You know you want it.

As nice as it would be it's a bit out of my price range.
Contemplating turning one the current rifles into a 7-300 Weatherby for shits n giggles. Would be good to get 140's out at 3550 fps.

I think the 125gn Barnes TTSX bullets should hold together and be able to let you get some decent velocities in the 7-300 Weatherby if you use some of the high energy powders. Will look good over the crono and do a decent job on bunnies.

So when you say 'decent job', are we talking trajectory or terminal performance???
