Your talking about a quality barrel, but two things, Is your chamber free bored somewhat? If not probably should be. Have you checked the bore dia. is it close to the min. You are talking about a 28in. barrell Those combinations could cause pressure problems. I have A .300 h&h 26 in. barrel...

In this statement, you didn't say if you wear corrective lenses or not. If you do or not check with an eye doctor, preferably one that shoots, they can do wonders. Just take you favorite optics with you an tell the Doc. what you want. You'll be suprised.

There are several good gunsmith lathes, probably anyone of the quality lathes would do your job. The things I think are important are the features that are going to make your job easier. You want a lathe that has a fairly narrow head stock that will allow you to extend both ends of your barrel...

For the Rem 700, Rifle basix, or the timney both very easy to install, and easy adjustment if you like a little lighter trigger.

Always had good luck with IMR4895, 40.5 grs w/ 100 gr bullet.

I always liked IMR4895 40.5 grs gives you about 3115 fps in a 24in. barrel. good groups.@ 100 yds. out to 300. Never checked at longer ranges.
