[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 262815, member: 7999"] I wish I had more barrel length to work with, (doesn't every guy) but I am getting this barrel for next to nothing because it didn't meet quality control. It's just going to be a fun little project, should keep me from burning up my good hunting rifle. It sounds like perhaps I should stay w/ the milder chambering as to be sure to be able to run a full case with the 130g or larger bullets. I will find out tomorrow what the twist is. I was excited to get the barrel, didn't bother asking.:D If it is a slow twist and wants to have the lighter bullets, maybe I can run a little hotter chambering? Thanks for all the input guys, Steve [/QUOTE]
