[QUOTE="K redden, post: 1139384, member: 58047"] I switched to a br a couple years ago and have never looked back. It is by far the best round I have ever seen . Your thoughts on how to set it up are almost identical to what I have. I have a ten twist in a 24" krieger #5 contour that won't shoot over a 1/2 in group no matter what you feed it. 1/4 inch is the norm. That contour seems to work well with a 24" tube , and does not seem whippy. You may consider a 1-8 twist as it will not affect accuracy of the lighter bullets. Berger 80g bullets love a 1-8 twist. I don't know if you'll get the velocity you want for a 105 , but a 80-95g bullet would be my pick. As far as free bore my first barrel I did was throated for flat base 80g and when I tried a 105 vld it seated to almost the same spot ( both pressure rings just above the neck shoulder junction). This must be due to the ogive of the vld , making it ride further into the bore to hit the lands. If I could do it again I'd take a 8 twist with a 24" barrel throated for 95s and shoot any bullet I wanted to out of it. A br will feed fine in a remington. Just load it to the front of the magazine. If you want any more info just send me a message. Also there's more info than you could ever want at 6br.com or accurate shooter. Warning a 6 Br may lead to a dasher K Redden [/QUOTE]
