[QUOTE="bdyal1972, post: 1748294, member: 50039"] Fast twist HEAVY 22" carbon wrapped barrel (remember that can is out their messing with your balance) As fast a powder as possible I would start at h1000 and try progressively faster powders Make sure chamber is cut for your case/bullet oal Make sure to start with bullet as deep as possible with minimal "dreaded doughnut" to allow recutting chamber a few times in future I WOULD NOT CONSIDER 300WSM OR 300 WIN MAG FOR THIS AT ALL!!! TO LITTLE NECK, TOO MUCH BULLET IN THE DREADED DOUGHNUT Definitely 300 nosler, 300 rem ultra mag, lapua-lazzeroni-Jefferies parent case... Your expecting a hell of a lot from a 22" barrel... As a western Oregon western Washington elk hunter I found ways to make a 30" barrel with a 4" brake work... Maybe you can use AT LEAST a 24" barrel plus your can? Good luck! I would love to see you post your success and what faster powder works for you in a 22" barrel! Dont forget that unburnt powder is going to eat and erode your can entrance and first baffle something awful!!! 230 Berger at 2800fps will be AWESOME on elk!!! [/QUOTE]
