[QUOTE="dagrizman, post: 1208945, member: 16863"] I was in the same boat. Wanted a long range rig on a Weatherby action. I elected to use a Shilen barrel. 28" in a 6 contour. Heavy for sure. Had Karl Kempfeld do the barrel to action work and a heavy flute with his custom break. Went with a .300 WM. I have a .340 Bee for heavy hunting. Have just started load work so not much to report at this time. I sent a dummy round along to Karl for the build with the 215 Gr Berger. Made a big mistake when I ordered the barrel, 1/12" instead of the 1/10" twist. Going to need to drop bullet weight I do believe. No problem as I have lots of room to work with in the seating depth with the MK V Action & mag box. Just my own experience for your info. Griz. [/QUOTE]
