[QUOTE="SOUTHTEXASBOY, post: 1161480, member: 91328"] I need your help with a full custom build. I want to build a 7mm-300 win mag, or 7mm practical. Yesterday I order a Bartlein #7 MTU 28" R5 rifling, 6 flutes, with a 1in8.75 twist. I'm about to order a Defiance deviant tactical long action. I'm thinking about going with a XLR Carbon chassis, AI 338 cip magazine so don't have to worry about the OAL. I shoot around sea level but I do go mule deer hunting in New Mexico around 6000 feet. I would like to shoot the 180gr Berger hybrids, most of the stuff I would shoot would range from coyotes to deer and hogs up to mule deer and maybe an elk in the next couple of years. I think the 180 Berger hybrid would be enough for those animals but I may jump up to the 195 bergers if I was going to hunt the bigger stuff. Does everything sound right so far? Would I need to go to a different twist being a sea level to stabilize the 180 hybrids or maybe the 195 bergers? Can anyone recommend a smith that has built one for you, or that has a reamer that would work for the 180 hybrids or 195 Berger? It will be about 5 months before all the parts get here so I would like to try to get on someone's list here pretty quick because most of the good smiths have a 4-5 month lead time. Thank you for any input you might have. I have never built a custom gun from scratch but I'm already ready for it to be finished [/QUOTE]
