[QUOTE="diriel, post: 619747, member: 26983"] Hello LRH, I have been wanting / needing to re-barrel my Savage 111 currently chambered in 6.5x55 BJAI. I have just not been able to make up my mind until Berger Bullets about broke my arm with their announcement of the 170 gr. .277 EOL hunting hybrids! I got to playing with JBM checking out the 7mm Vs. the .277, then added in 6.5, 6, and even .30. Long story short, for a hunting / range rifle that 170 gr. .277 bullet is very convincing! Recoil should be reasonable given the bullet weight. Ok so: 375 Ruger - parent case -- Case Length of Approximately 2.41 -- Neck Length of Approximately .36 -- Shoulder Angle of 30* Now, I do not have the 170 gr. bullet diagram or bullet measurements So take the above with a grain or so... The intent is to allow 3.340 C.O.A.L using a .277" 170 gr. Berger Hybrid EOL seated so that the boat tail is protruding somewhat into the shoulder area of the case, but the beginning of the bullet shank will be just ahead of the neck / shoulder junction so as to avoid Doughnut problems. Playing with JBM, *IF* I can get an honest 2850 fps. out of this combination it should carry 2000 fps and 1500 ft.lbs. out to 700 yards. That is a pretty good Thump! I went with the Ruger Mag case because I like the non rebated, clean design of it. Thoughts and opinions? Gary [/QUOTE]
