[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1989731, member: 66917"] I have 3 LRMs and I love the balanced power to reach out on game. I'm not trying to dissuade you but realize that the LRM is a custom cartridge and you have a single source for the cases and need to be a reloader or buy the $80-$100 Gunwerks ammo. Also the dies are only available from Gunwerks unless you pop for custom ones. Your Tikka action should work great but I would have your smith shorten the throat to give you room to chase the lands because you will loose 0.005 ish of your throat about every 100 rounds. If you have a choice I'd go with a 26in barrel to get all the performance you can out of the cartridge. The point of it is to give a hunter stable accurate killing performance in that 500-1000 yard space. I've visited with Aaron Davidson a few times and he said he was going for a 3000-3100 fps sweet spot from a 180 VLD, might as well get the most out of it. I have a 1:9 on one rifle but I'd go to a 1.8 or a 1:8.5 to smoothly handle the 195 EOL across all altitudes. Hope your rifle shoots great. [/QUOTE]
