[QUOTE="speedbump, post: 23730, member: 547"] Chris, FWIW: The RUM's barrel is a 30" Kreiger 1:9" twist in a 'heavy Palma taper.' I thought about the fluting option, but went with the HPT configuration. As Dave mentioned, this does have the first 4-5" untapered to allow for re-sets. Depending on your twist, don't overlook some of the mid-range bullet weights. The BC vs. velocity tradeoff is pretty close, plus you have less recoil from the sling. I shot several Cauterucio 156s & they worked very well - averaging @ 3.25" at 500 with less recoil & a very similar POI. Something to consider......... Powders will be more generous with a wissum than a RUM. One of the members here, Gary Veit, is a buddy from Indiana who has done some piddling with several. He might pitch in....... I'll think about the match on 11/24. That sounds fun. I may even try some new loads from that rifle in F-class - it'd sure give a good look at them. Oh, by the way you comedian... throat erosion is actually proving to be pretty reasonable. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
