[QUOTE="APDDSN0864, post: 2168601, member: 58226"] I'm resurrecting this thread as I am doing the same thing that the OP did, except with a Savage 10PC in .308. I also bought a 1:8 twist pre-fit barrel from Columbia River Arms/Black Hole Weaponry because they make great barrels that use Caudle Polygonal Rifling in a great variety of twists that are easy to clean and are very well machined. Getting a custom barrel from them right now is a 6+ month process and don't expect any communications with them in the waiting time as everyone, and I mean [B][I][B]everyone[/B],[/I][/B] that works there is on the production floor due to the tremendous backlog of orders that started as the pandemic hit. So, back to the build, I presently have a two .243Win rifles and one NULA .243AI rifle. There are some loads I am going to start with that are accurate in all three of my other rifles and see where they go. I have settled on Retumbo or the heavier weight bullets, and have turned away from Re26 due to pressure spikes in hot weather (>95F ambient) and use Superformance for my varmint needs with Varget and Win760/H414 as my backups. My favorite projectiles right now are 105gr Lapua Scenar-L and Speer 75gr TNT. Ed [/QUOTE]
