[QUOTE="Meister, post: 114170, member: 4118"] On my recent hunt to SD, I found myself glued to my Krieger straight barrel Rem 700. I was pushing 77 grainers at about 2800 thru the 1-7 4 groove, they were deadly accurate out past 800, and I did get lucky and drop one at 1040. They were still grouping well at that range, I dunno why, they should have been going sub well before that. The ability to watch the bullet in flight was amazing, and helpful. Another hunter was using his 22-250 out to 450-500 with success, but had to go to his 308 after that. He and I have been talking about rebarreling his factory rem 700 to a fast twist for the long stuff. Our biggest concern is carbon buildup (leading to shorter barrel life)with the heavier bullets as well as reduced case capacity unless the throat is cut long. Am I being overly cautious?
