[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 311407, member: 307"] Welcome to LRH, this is a great website with lots of info and good people. The 7Mag is a great round for your endeavor and I have owned several over the years. It is easy to load for and all of the rifles I've had seemed to perform best at the upper end; near, at, or a tad over the max listing. With a custom barrel, I'd go with the 1-9 twist. Berger recommends this up to and including the 180gn VLD's. I have never tried these so I'm going off the Berger website ([url]www.bergerbullets.com[/url]) recommendation. As for the neck, I'd go with the standard. I don't think the extra fuss of outside neck turning will give you an advantage in the accuracy department. All the factory barreled 7Mag rifles that I have shot could produce sub 1/2" groups with good reloads. The majority were tighter than that. It would make shooting factory ammo possible if need be.
