[QUOTE="Eric Alexander, post: 1874528, member: 89813"] Whoa! I don’t know what gave you that impression. Certanly mot my intention. I’m about to build something for somebody and your note was very encouraging... so I wanted to know more about your experience and how you got there. And now that you’re telling me it is a hunting rig, I am even more interested. I am not building a match rifle. It is meant to be a user. I’ve got a 1960 Model 70 .264 Win Mag that i will refit a 26 inch cut-rifled barrel to. It is not a hot rod. The fellow that this rifle is intended for hunts in California and he must use unleaded bullets. This led me to investigate the Hammers. Upon reading that they require a 6.5 twist, I halted. My usual 6.5 builds are 1/8 and they shoot several weights. This 1/6.5 twist would likely not work so well if he ever wants to shoot lighter. But, if the 137s really sing then he may green light me on it. So there is something at stake here in my questions to you. I want the owner to be happy. Sorry if something made you think I was challenging you. Noop. just wanted more 411.
