[QUOTE="Takem406, post: 2060116, member: 72588"] So I'm saving my money to rebarrel my 22-250 remmy VSF. I'll be ordering a tube next month! I'm thinking 6.5 SS This will be my first plunge into long range shooting. I am pretty experienced with reloading. This gun will be for prairie hunting here in Montana. So deer out to five is my goal this next fall and learning how to master how 25-35 mph winds. But I also want to take it to a prairie dog town and or two during the summer and burn through a lot of ammo. Is this a good direction to go for a newb? I'd go to a plain Jane round but I'm fascinated by wildcats and I do a lot of loading. Then I've read most of all these pages. But can't see where anyone has mentioned burning a barrel out yet? Has that happened yet? What's the life expectancy? I understand hot rods needs tires though. Then what twist should I get? 1—8 or something more like a 1-7.5? Will the 156 gr Berger fit the Remmy short action? Not sure what bullets I want to try as I'm green. But I really want to try Bergers for deer. How's recoil as far as seeing hits? Sorry if these questions have already been answered in the last 15 pages. [/QUOTE]
