[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2037719, member: 101791"] If you really looking at a custom rifle. Look at a 25-06 AI. You ranges will be longer that back east. Looking at 300 to 600 yds distances. I would turn the twist up into the 7 or 8 rate. Barrel length somewhere around 26" or longer. Getting a full burn on the powders. I believe Brownells already has reamers for it. I don't know how far you into reloading. That can be factor in what you may want. Fire forming the case to AI is very simple and easy. Cases can be made from 30-06, 270, and the easy is 25-06. Or you can go to 260 AI and all require is fire forming the case using 260 case. The 260 Rem is a slow boat to China in my thinking. Twist rate needs to be speed up too. Really look into what you want. Powder, primers, bullets are hard to come by presently. That should past if our new government doesn't get to far out of line, and spread eagle doesn't take over.
