:cool:not meaning to be rude Sir, but you are terribly mistaken. lightbulbYou can review the specs of the 275 H&H belted magnum at AMMOGUIDE.COM. Thank you for your assistance Curtis

Friends, I am considering building a M70 in 275 H&H simply because I have 4 7mm mags in the safe. My issue with it so far is Midway shows bullets for it are .288 and Ammoguide shows the neck as .284. Elk Ridge chamber reamers lists it in the .284 group, and they donot have a .288 group. I most...

Hart offers a fluting pattern that I guess would be called interrupted offset. IF I decide to flute that will be the pattern I will choose

I really appreciate everyones input and assistance offered to help resolve my dilemma. Please be reminded that I will be using hunting bullets whether soft point or unleaded (as required in the California Condor range) will remain to be determined with load development. Does anyone have any...

Thanks for the info Tom. Why the different twists and how do they affect the accuracy? I was considering a 26" Krieger w/ no fluting. I have received differing views about fluting. Some say it imparts stresses on the barrel, while others say nothing about stress. Krieger does not flute any of...
