Win,

I did a fluted 26 in, Brux #4 contour, in a B&C Medalist. Couldn't be happier. The idea on the fluted 4 was to reduce weight while maintaining stifness.

Not sure how the medalist compairs to the Edge, but my gun has a very nice balance to it and it's also amazingly accurate.

I agree with the others, a 1-10 twist will work fine. I've never shot anything lighter than 100's, but it shoots 100's-120's, including the Berger 115, just fine.

I went with a reduced freebore, at .250, vs the standard Wby freebore of .378. This gives me the option to shoot factory ammo if ever needed.

Good luck with the build. The 257 Weatherby is fun cartridge to shoot. Plus, it's somewhat unique in most circles.

Here's a pic of mine....
