[QUOTE="Stephen Prindle, post: 3008260, member: 106396"] For the bullet weights you mention have you considered a 223 AI? Cheap and abundant brass, long barrel life, and non custom dies available. I had a similar project and went that route. Went with an 8 twist as I wanted to shoot 55g to 80g bullets. I load them long in a standard short action and Crown Ridge Barrel works spun up a custom throated prefit barrel for me as I wanted to keep the 75's pressure ring above the shoulder neck junction and have been very happy. Excellent chambering job, Barrel consistently shoots under .5 moa and my pet load will hold .25 moa if I do everything right. If you are a speed freak look elsewhere but I'm running 75g at 3050 out of a 24" barrel and 55's at 3350. [/QUOTE]
