Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Now what do I build?

CAS, give us the details on barrel and length. I think you will like it TONS. Flinch

I am going to get a 24" #3 contour Stainless Super Match barrel and have them Gunkote the whole thing.

<br>Flinch, thanks for the offer on the barrel, but I've already had Rick paint the stock and it won't take a #5 barrel without buggering up that fine paint job.
<br>
<br>What powder would you recommend to use with 120gr XLC's? I checked the Nosler manual and they get the best velocity with RL19, which seems a little on the fast side for such a big case and small bore.

CAS,
<br>
<br> What twist are you going with? Believe 1:9 will cover you up to 140g bullets.

CAS,
<br> Be sure to measure your barrel channel for shank length and give that spec to Pac-Nor. Your new barrel will fit the channel alot better which will save you some work. MtnHtr

Thanks for the heads up MtnHtr. I will be sure to do that before it goes out this morning.

<br>I am not sure what twist I want, I just asked that they use the appropriate twist for 120 to 140 grain bullets. If 1in9 is the ticket I will revise my order for that as well.
<br>
<br>Thanks guys.
