[QUOTE="barrythecableman, post: 1001729, member: 84615"] I hand load and have since I was 10. I have been shooting a ruger red but 220 swift since then. My dad had one and I now have my own. Mine just had its second new barrel installed as I bought it with a shot out one for a very good price. The first barrel had a life of 2100 rounds before it opened up past 3/4 moa. That doesn't sound bad but I normally am hunting fox in open corn fields and shots are normally in the 350 yard range some get close to my own personal limit that I set of 500. The point I made about hand loading was made to explain why I have wanted a 257. I see rifles that have calabers that are either wildcats or you just can't get ammo for them being worth less then the same rifle in a close calaber that it is easy to get ammo for. Granted I don't plan on selling my rifles but I don't want to spend 5 times what it is worth to build one either. [/QUOTE]
