[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1196295, member: 7999"] My hunting rifle for the last ten years is finally toast. This is a rifle that is semi custom. Was re-barreled with a 30" Lilja chambered in 30-338 Lap Imp. It was a 10" twist. The rifle is a 995 Sako. I thought I had this all planned out, but now that it is time I am struggling with the idea. Barrels avail to work with are.... A 30" 10 twist .308. Thinking of just setting the rifle back as it was. 3600 fps 181g Hammer Hunter is formidable. A 26" 9 twist .308. Thinking of staying same chamber but designing a longer 180g class Hammer Hunter that would be a high bc for the 9" twist. This would get my rifle down to a better weight cause I am getting old. :rolleyes: A 30" 10 twist .375. Thinking of a 375-338 Lap Imp. The reamer for this is already on it's way. This is what I was sure that I was going to do. Second thought is that I would have to purchase a set of dies and another muzzle break. Also it will render the repeater to a single shot. I don't mind a single shot, it just seems odd to do that to it. Like it's a waste. The idea here is to run a super high bc 375 Hammer Hunter in the 2800 to 2900 fps. Why is it hard to make the decision? Steve [/QUOTE]
