[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1632235, member: 97414"] Good news and less not suprized news. Ha. The 30/06 BDL barrel has a pooched crown. I figured that this was issue. I could knock off 2 inches or re-barrel,,, I picked the re-barrel idea,,, and since I'm not getting any younger I decide to go with a 6.5 A-Square,,, liter boolitz and just enough Punch-Junk at close range for the thick skins. Funny thing is that my rifle builder has 1 for him self as his go to hunting rifle,,, he said there deadly as long as I plant the lead where its needed...the TSX deffinatly drop critters...another good chunk of lead is the ELD-X's since they work up close and out at range... The real plus is that I can tap it kool on the charge and still get velocities like the other 6.5's... He said they are easy to load for,,, there very forgiving no matter what charge I throw at it,,, of course I won't know this till it sees the shooting range... My other black art friend will spin me a barrel with a 1:8 so I can shoot the 160's,,, but I'm pretty sure I'll hold up in the 140/47gr category. As I mentioned in my above post,,, the contour will be """Close""" to the factory Remmy sporter barrel in 24",,, but we've decided to leave it a bit thicker,,, A 1980 Long Action BDL came in a 8 3/4 lbs,,, I'm thinking this build will come in at 10 + lbs before glass... This will help for recoil I hope... Ha... Lucky thing I have the Aussie sling for humping the hills... Just the regular big game hunting thing and target shooting. Good times no matter what cartrage it is,,, we're having a reloader number II course this weekend,,, I'm already up to speed on this stuff,,, but there's nothing wrong with seeing what new ideas came up since the last time I took it... We're into the frugal match dies these days,,, about a 1/3 of the costs of the professional type dies,,, yet we get good neck tension and next to nill for run out... More to follow... PS: The bolt handle kick up is a known on this year of Remington,,, so my friend will sort that out on the build... He has Black Magic art skills to,,, Old German tooling skills from loooooong ago.
