[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 294112, member: 8947"] Very simple process. Get a quality barrel in the contour and length you wish, send to a competent gunsmith WITH some cases sized with your dies the way to you intend to use in the field (he will headspace off these cases), write a chq, wait, enjoy.... There are no other mods needed to your rifle going from a 243 to 260. A very simple job and similar swaps done everyday. Do budget a proper bedding as part of your conversion. Will pay huge dividends on the target. Bryan Litz, I have heard that Berger is working on their 338's and we wait for those. You could be really annoying to Eric and give us an ETA.... Any chance that Berger is also working on some heavy 30cals? With the present line up of bullets, the 7mm 180gr offers so much but if there were quality 30cals with BC well over 0.7, that would certainly turn the tables at least from our perspective. A 240gr VLD should have a BC around 0.78 to 0.8, use a 10 or 9 twist and be easily pushed to 3000fps by any of our healthier cartridges. Now that would be kind of interesting me thinks...:Dlightbulb Jerry [/QUOTE]
