hi, my best friend is a smith in jasper and has built a few rifles for me, but is going to iraq as pipe inspector , so im looking for a new smith .

now we are getting to what i really need to know, spent so much time researching components, if someone has allready ran these numbers for me i could of settled on caliber by now. if you go with 195eol due you need more twist than 9; still leaning toward 300winmag for this build.
