[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 83849, member: 10"] [b]Re: 30\" fully floated barrel on Rem 700 LA ok?[/b] Jmden, Sounds like a great performer to me. The parent case is relatively improved as it sits but you can get a bit more out of it with the sharper shoulder. As far as pushing the shoulder forward. I have read a couple different tests concerning throat life in relationship to neck length and shoulder angle. Simply put the shorter the neck, the shorter the throat life. Also, the shallower the shoulder angle the shorter the throat life. Now obviously these are very general comments. A 30-06 has a very shallow shoulder angle and a very long throat life but this is what the tests reporter as finding. I like to try to keep at least 1 caliber of neck length on my wildcats that are under 30 cal for what its worth. As far as your barrel choice, it sounds great, If you ever want to try the real heavy 30 cal bullets like the 220 gr Mk or possibly even the 240 gr, I would go with the 1-10 twist. If you will be shooting bullets no heavier then a 200 gr VLD, then the 1-11 should work perfectly well. All in all, it should be a real long range hammer!!! Keep us posted. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
