[QUOTE="KU_Geo, post: 2190056, member: 19454"] All, appreciate the info! Ideally, I’d like to launch 168 HVLD at >2,800fps without having hotrod it. I’ve seen lots of posted data on accurate shooter posting good velocities with 180vlds but LOOONNNG barrels of 28”+. Pressure tested data is pretty sparse (even on Hodgdons) and without quickload wanted to get an idea of what other folks have seen. I have a bunch of h4350, H4831sc, and RL26 that I planned to try. Would prefer to use the H4350/H4831sc but will definitely try Rl26 My current plan is a tikka action with 24” tube copying the tikka factory contour but finishing .65 vs .625 at the muzzle, 8.5 twist. Topping it with a ~20oz scope for a target weight of 8lbs. Until Alterra starts taking orders again, I’ll run the factory stock with a vertical grip. Hoping to use it as my longer range Mtn gun for here in CO, but more specifically for some sheep/goat/caribou hunts I have planned the next few years. As for throating, definitely realize I need a longer than SAMMI throat but have not done the research to know what my be best for my intended purpose. So any recommendations would be appreciated as well. [/QUOTE]
