[QUOTE="dcgauger, post: 63123, member: 3919"] Hi, I am new to this board. I have several .22 centerfires and a Hart-barreled tight-neck 7mm Mag varminter that I use for PDs a couple times a year. A few years ago, I rechambered a Savage 112FLVSS .22-250 to .22 Cheetah MarkI. It is in a Choate varminter stock, has a Canjar trigger and a 8-32 Burris. Since I have several other .22 CFs, I find that I do not shoot this one much so I have the barrel, dies, and brass sold. I am going to order a PacNor to put back on it. I have been wrestling with what I want. I am leaning toward a 3-groove, 6mm, 8-twist, ss, supermatch with a straight taper. The 8 twist is so I can shoot 105 A-Maxes and 107 MKs. I am not a fan of 40 degree shoulders for several reasons. Based upon case capacity, I am leaning toward a plain old .243 Winchester chamber. Brass is easy to come by, the case is big enough, but not so big that I am restricted to a couple of slow powders...That last couple hundred fps come at a high price. My question now is since the rifle is already not very portable, how long should I make the barrel? I have a 700 BDL LH with a 28" #5 Lilja that I use as a plains rifle. My thought is to burn what is in the case in the barrel...no need for a bigger case and then only more muzzle flash...so what length should I make the 6mm barrel? Any input as to cartridges and barrel lengths would be welcomed. After the CheetaH, I am sick of making cases. I'm not opposed to flash hole deburring, neck turning, and annealing, I do that to all of my cases, I am just sick of making a career out of producing a few pieces of brass. Thanks, don [/QUOTE]
