[QUOTE="Kenster-Boy, post: 74335, member: 2330"] Well you kind of contradict yourself when you say that you want to push heavy bullets really fast and get a long barrel life out of your rifle. It just doesn't work that way YOU CAN'T DO IT. The faster you push heavy bullets the harder it is on the barrel. SO my suggestion is to back off a LITTLE bit and shoot a moderate load out of a pretty large case which will give you PLENTY of performance and still plenty of barrel life. Why not the 7mm rem mag with the 162gr. A-MAX. Or if that doesn't want to shoot try the 168 gr. Berger VLD or the 175 SMK. I still am confused why everyone is still trying to make the largest bullet shoot the flattest (that's the goal of the wildcat cartridge) after all with the right yardage reading and a good drop chart with a descent rifle any of the standard calibers can do just fine. AND it's easier to find dies, reloading information, a factory rifle can do just fine, no gunsmithing needed. Not to mention trying to find affordable brass or make it. [/QUOTE]
