I have a remington 7mm rem mag iv had forever and I was wanting to make it into a long range mule deer rifle "1,000 yards." First off im probably going to re barrel it with a lilja 27" 1-9 twist #3 contour "Rem Sporter." I have an HS Precision stock for it. Im guessing it will weigh around 7lbs without scope??? I think ill probably want to shoot the 180gr vlds through it. Is that enough twist for that bullet? Also what kind of velocity can I expect ? When I have a smith install it I was told by a friend of mine that I should give him a dummy round of what im wanting to shoot and thats what he will ream the chamber to? Im new to the rebarreling deal its my first time. Any suggestions or help will be great. Thanks
