    That is what I did.

    .308, .300WSM, or 6.5PRC in a shorter (~22”) barrel

    That's what I was thinking. Good luck with the project.

    .308, .300WSM, or 6.5PRC in a shorter (~22”) barrel

    Thanks, that's what I figured. The shorter barrels have their place, that's for sure.

    .308, .300WSM, or 6.5PRC in a shorter (~22”) barrel

    I learn something new everyday. I've been out of the loop quite a while, and I'm glad to be back learning here. I would have thought .308 Win, would be a good choice. I was thinking the 300 WSM and 6.5PRC wouldn't burn all the power efficiently in such a short barrel.

    That's pretty much how I load mine, I have arthritis in my hands.

    Why would my groups open up suddenly?

    I fell for that old timer thing too. I had the same issue, a good cleaning resolved the problem.

    Back after many years

    Hi, It has been a long time since posting here. Retirement has given me more time to enjoy my hobbies, and hopefully shoot more. It's nice to be back and continue to learn. Thanks.

    Gunsmithing Twist for 6.5mm and 7mm barrel?

    Re: Twist for 6.5mm and 7mm barrel? I thought I'd ask only because my 7 WSM is using a 9 twist, then someone mentioned 8.7 twist and the tilt light came on.

    Gunsmithing Twist for 6.5mm and 7mm barrel?

    Re: Twist for 6.5mm and 7mm barrel? Will an 8.7 twist work for the 7mm? Or is the 9 still the ticket?

    300 ultra mag at a grand

    Re: 300 ultra mag at a grand If you really like the big bore you already have one. I would shoot it out and learn with it. A replacement stock, trigger adjustment, and bedding are good places to start. Once the barrel is toast then you can get a custom barrel, true it, rechamber, and bed...
