[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1774464, member: 38048"] Everybody told you the truth right here. I'm a master gunsmith of 30 yrs and until the last couple yrs the 257wby mag in a 700 long action had been my go to gun. I've had over 1 dozen of them that customers talk right out of my hands. I shoot a 26 and 24 inch for my hunting rifles. Expect well under half moa. Most of mine did 3 shot . 25 moa groups. I use custom spec on my reamers and will give you the specs in a second if I was not currently in the hospital. I have the Sammi reamer and a tighter neck shorter throat reamer. The custom does shoot better by the skin of it's teeth the Sammi still hammers under half moa. If you reload go custom spec. My custom spec has never had too much pressure with factory loads. I shoot bib 110 in mine. These are 520 bc and even shoot lights out from a 12 twist I built. I'm looking at selling one now to build a fast twist barrel for the 131bj. I'm looking to put a 25 on my 1000 yard rifle this yr too. I don't think you can go wrong on this build. Shep [/QUOTE]
