Not for hunting. I just want to try putting some way out there just for fun with a 24 or 26" barrel

I want to attempt to shoot bullets as heavy as 250gr but load data hard to find. Lots of good load data for 180 to 220 out there. And yes I was planning on using H4350 :)

My next 30 cal build will be 300 SAUM. Managed to find 200 rounds of brass a couple months ago. Seems like a great round. Bertram has brass in stock but heard a few negative things about quality from that manufacturer.

Yes which would tighten the barrel. Not really "a scientific way" to test the theory but I have seen videos of machine guns being shot in slow motion. With every shot the entire rifle twists (from the gyroscopic forces of the bullet being spun up to RPM) It twists in the same direction as if you...

So im not sure what some of you are saying. Picture this, when you turn on a Dremel tool at 10,000 rpm the Dremel twists in your hand the opposite direction of the tool. A heavy tool makes this even easier to feel. A bullet goes from a dead stop to about 250,000 rpm (like in a 1 in 10 twist) in...

If you are running a barrel with a right hand twist the centrifugal forces are always tending to rotate the barrel towards tightening, not loosening so it seems pretty safe. I would want a little bit of tightness for rigidity and accurate headspace.
