    240 weatherby twist rate

    Thanks for the input guys. I Know they recommending a certain twist for a certain bullet. I guess I should rephrase my question, if I go with a 1:8 twist will I be able to shoot both 105's and the 85, 87's with that twist? Or would 1:9 be better? It would be much simpler for me to just...

    Browning BAR 308 conversion to 6.5 what?

    Specifically, the deer will be running past me either in the brush in front of me or through the 600 yard bean field behind me. I know the 308 would work. But I want somethin a little different.

    22-250 conversion to 6mmBR?

    Can I build a 6mm br varminting rig off of a rem 700 varmint action in 22-250? And will I be able to get the rounds to feed from the 22-250 magazine?

    Browning BAR 308 conversion to 6.5 what?

    Can a Browning BAR in 308 be rebarelled and rechambered for one of the 6.5's? Which 6.5 caliber would be the "easiest" or "least complicated" to work with (I am aware of the gas block and possible feed issues etc.) And of these which would make the best all around brush busting whitetail deer rig?
