[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 738636, member: 10391"] I put together a 30-06 couple years ago using a pre 64 model 70 receiver and a Brux barrel. The barrel has a #5 contour and is finished at 25.5. This is the 3rd barrel on this receiver. One at 24 one at 22 and the one I just mentioned. I don't know where the "sweet" spot would be as they all preformed well. This Brux with a 1/10 twist shoots the best so far. I have been testing Reloader 17 with Nosler 200gr Accubond and have it shooting pretty good at 2715fps. I kinda backed off and am waiting for the new 190gr Accubond due out in the spring 2013. If you want to shoot out to 500 yards and beyond its the heavy bullets you want to use and that almost requires reloading if you want to be really accurate. The rifle with the Win receiver Brux barrel and McMillan Adj HTG stock fully loaded with scope and strap is just shy of 12.75 lbs. I can't see using a brake on a 30-06 with a similar weight unless medium to light recoil is a factor. [/QUOTE]
