[QUOTE="head2h2o, post: 292026, member: 13418"] Thanks gentlemen. This helps. My goal is to push the heavier rounds, say above the 180 gr mark. I am really looking to stay with the 30 cal bullet, but I do appreciate the suggestions on the 7mm. I like the 30 cal over the 7mm just because I can use a heavier round. I really am looking for something to throw rounds that weigh over 200gr. It sounds as though the 300 Win Mag is the better option. If I decide to build this rifle and not go with a factory model, what length barrel would you recommend as optimal? I am not that concerned about the weight, I am just looking for performance. Is a twist rate of 1 in 10 good for the heavier bullets, or does it need to be slower than this? [/QUOTE]
