[QUOTE="buck5611, post: 552232, member: 9983"] Hi. I have been reading for a long time and think this is the best place to get advice. I plan to build a long range rifle based on a Rem. 700 action, a Krieger 28 inch barrel with 1 to 8 or 1 to nine twist made for the 180 Berger vld. I also plan to put a NightForce scope on it. One of my friend who is competition shooter, told me that with that twist, the recoil is very high and no fun to shoot. Is it the case? I shoot 300 mag and 325 wsm without problems. I reload for a while but cannot say I'm ready for bench rest yet. Is there any possibilities that I get good result with this rifle by doing just basic reloading or do I have to go to bench rest reloading techniques like neck turning and using bushing dies? In fact, may be I will never need to shoot long range but I want to be able to take a moose at 600 to 800 yrds if the occasion occurs, or just shooting metal plate for fun at these distances. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Buck5611 [/QUOTE]
