    .240 Weatherby twist

    It should work in summer but not likely in colder temps. Mine worked well till it got cold. I'm at 1650-1800 elevation too.

    Which caliber to reload

    any of those 3 would be the same work to reload, i would go 260 and have your barrel thoated for what ever bullet you like. the 6.5creedmore is just a 22-250 necked up and improved, just needs one extra step for formed cases. flip a 3 sided coin and pick what fits your needs best. they all...

    deep or short chamber??

    Make some dummy rounds that fit your mag with some room to chase the lands as you shoot. Your smith should be able to chamber it correctly. What action are you building off?

    Loads for the new 257 Wby

    I have never got the 115 VLDs to shoot good in my vanguard backcountry. I like the 100gr Barnes TTSX and H-1000. I have shoot some 100 Sierra MKs with H-1000 too and they shoot really good and at speeds of 3600fps. My 257 is my favorite rifle, I have used it on coyotes up to moose all with...

    Need input for the ultimate pack in rifle (IMO)

    go with a 300wsm at 24 and save more weight. go with the tougher bullet when shooting moose and bears, you and your guide will be happy.

    Next year's new toy!

    Re: Next year\'s new toy! brewdaddy, if you got good gear to start with you shouldnt need a back up. kinda like the see through ring things. ****** rings= scope going out have to use irons. not knocking you for wanting another rifle as a back up saved my *** once too. take the $1000 to a...
