[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1748560, member: 26227"] It looks like I am not going to add too much to this but I will try to ad some clarity. with all the cases mentioned above; the best case for this would be the 300 WSM. so that in mind here is how I would build it. 300 WSM (excellent choice) #5-#7 taper fluted barrel (stiff but moderate weight ) 1:8" twist rate (all heavy slugs from 210 through 230) 215-220 class slug Berger. do not forget the heavy Berger 30 cals will utilize this twist well. 18" - 20" barrel (using the faster burning powders should leave you with the muzzle speed you want) very effective muzzlebrake/"suppressor" Chet Brown "pounder" to keep the weight down a bit your choice of bases, rings and scope should make this a very compact-effective little rig. I am glad I saw this tread, I have a rig to e-mail my friend in the R&D department. might have to see if a certain rifle company will build this in the custom shop for sale. [/QUOTE]
