[QUOTE="mcseal2, post: 437742, member: 22030"] I have a custom rifle in 243 win built on a Ruger M77 short action with a thumbhole stock. I am considering rebarreling the rifle to a 6mm rem set up for 105gr Berger or A-max bullets. I am thinking of going with a 23" Mcgowan #4 fluted barrel with a 1 in 8 twist and having it cryoaccurized. I want to be able to get 3000fps with these bullets to shoot long range varmints and possibly antelope. Any recommendations if I'm on the right track as to twist, barrel length, or barrel brand? I will be very particular about the accuracy of this rifle. Also will the short action Ruger be able to handle the long bullets with adequate seating depth? I've shot 95gr Bergers in the 243 and had no trouble with adequate magazine length. Thanks for your advice, Heath [/QUOTE]
