[QUOTE=".284, post: 1146308, member: 19604"] I'm getting 3080 fps out of a 25 inch tube with. 61 H1000 and 140 bergers. 8twist It is an excellent long range round with low extreme spreads. You can push much higher velocities but brass life will suffer, I've got some Remington cases on their 6th firing and pockets are still good Your going to have to learn to reload for that round but if you want to shoot long range you'll need to learn anyway. The hornady brass that they made for that round is sold out right now and the next batch is 3-4 months out. I believe it is for the no neck turn reamer but you'd have to confirm that for yourself. The only thing I'd rather see on the rifle your looking at is the tighter neck reamer used for neck turning. As far as barrel life goes guys are reporting getting around the 2k mark without setting it back yet. I've not shot that many yet to see for myself but there are some very credible people reporting similar results. The brass is not hot to touch after firing so I'm sure that has something to do with barrel life. In the end it's just a barrel and if you really get into one range shooting you'll need to replace them anyway. [/QUOTE]
