[QUOTE="jkupper, post: 856238, member: 61637"] Okay, so I have decided that I am going to join the brotherhood once I shoot the barrel out on my 7 RM. All of my guns are factory, and I have never ordered a barrel before. I do not know anything about the tapers, or contours, of the barrels that are offered by aftermarket manufacturers. What is the best way to figure all of this stuff out? I have a gun smith in mind that I would like to use when the time comes. Do I just simply have a conversation with him and have him help me figure out what I want? I know he has been very helpful in the past. I know that I want to shoot the heavier bullets, so I will likely go with a 1:8.5 twist rate (anticipating the Berger 195's), but I am thinking that this twist rate will be fine for the 180 VLD's and Hybrids. I will likely go with a 28" barrel length to help burn the slower burning powders that will likely be used as well. I excited about the idea of the project, but I am also a little apprehensive as it is something new for me (about the barrel, not the caliber, I'm positive about the STW :D). What are your thoughts and suggestions? [/QUOTE]
