[QUOTE="wilkup, post: 1141894, member: 74276"] I already have the Bartlein #3 5r barrel in .284 caliber with a 1-9" twist. I tried to order a fast twist (1-8") from them but was told it'd be 4-6 months on wait from the as well as most other barrel makers. I wanted to shoot the 165gr Matrix. SAUM may be the way to go with this build. It'll be enough to hammer anything in the lower 48. Thinking about having the smith knock the barrel down an inch or two and try out the new Hornady ELD X in the 162gr size. I'm thinking I could push theELD X around 3000FPS Keep things nice and light for an all-around boom stick =) Maybe get a hold of some 120gr TTSX and scoot those along at some screaming velocities, in the neighborhood of 3400FPS. Between those two bullets I've got big and small covered down here, assuming those Hotnadys are as great as everyone keeps saying =) Build parameters have changed since beginning, but I'm excited to get this thing completed. Once I decide on barrel length, it's getting fluted and then sent out for a super light custom stock! [/QUOTE]
