[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1075450, member: 12995"] That rifle was a custom build. That action started life as an old .270 ADL, and that barrel was a factory Remington Varmint 26" .308 Win 1:12 barrel. I had my smith blueprint the action, true the barrel threads and lug shoulder, hand-lap the bore, re-crown, and rechamber to .30-06 AI with his "tight chamber" reamer (standard neck dimensions, but the body expansion is reduced so the brass barely expands). I kept the barrel at 26", for velocity reasons, and because I don't believe in shorter barrels for LR rifles. Then had him open the barrel channel, and bed and float. I haven't finalized load development yet, but I'm thinking I will stick to the 62gr of 7828 SSC behind the Berger 185 VLD, with a Fed 210M primer in R-P brass (free range pickups :cool: ). So far that is showing the most promise. Someone ran my gun/load specs through QL, and it said that it should be pushing the 185's around 2900 fps. Which is pretty stout. [/QUOTE]
