I need help deciding between two calibers for a build that I'm gathering parts for. All I need now is a barrel so It's time to make a decision. Mark x Mauser action, McMillan classic stock, gonna be a Rock tube @ either 20" or 18" #5 contour fluted. It's either gonna be a 280 or an '06 (help me...
I know that there are many factors involved here like SD and velocity, but is there a min. energy figure guideline used to determine max effective range on big game?
I posted this in the bolt rifles section and didn't get much response, so I'll try it over here. I'm building up a short barreled 243 probably 20"-22" and will be shooting the heavy bullets (hopefully the dtacs). Can anyone tell me what velocities I can expect? Thanks in advance.

I have two questions. First- can anyone tell me for sure what contour the vtr's are before they mill the triangle shape? I assume its a rem. varmint but not 100% sure. Second-what contour will drop into the 5r mil spec take off stock I just bought?thanks for the help.
Just wondering what Bottom metal/DBM set ups you guys are running for the 105 to 115 gr. bullets. In my VTR I cant even get the 95 gr. VLD's out to the lands at mag length so I am just curious what you guys are doing to make this work. Thanks in advance.
Has anyone here tried to full length bed your barrels? Or would this only be something you would try if "all else fails"? Is free floating the end all be all?
I'm working on a Mauser build and the time has come to order a barrel. I have used several shilen barrels in the past and want to try something different. I don't own a lathe and am pretty much limited to using short chambered/ pre threaded barrels and finishing the head spacing by hand. I have...
