[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 487760, member: 24624"] The Berger 140 VLD may perform at lower impact velocity than the Accubond which would be the case at longer ranges. So, I might lean towards Berger. Having said that, Accubond should still be plenty good at 600yds. So, pick one and stick with it until you find your load. 1 in 8" is the recommended twist for 140 VLDs. With 1 in 8.5" probably being adequate as illustrated by pacowboy. A 26" barrel should be plenty for a 600yd rifle. I have most of the parts set aside for the same build. But, the Savage 111LRH is pretty compelling for the price point. It comes in 6.5x284 with a 1 in 8" twist and a 26" barrel. Happy hunting! Richard [/QUOTE]
