Bro, you can save more weight in a bigger bore size than fluting depending on the bore. My #3 .358 barrel weighs bugger all. I can measure when I get home tomorrow if you want.

If money wasn’t an object, I’d probably be screwing a 308 barrel or perhaps a 7mm-08. But I’ve got a 358 win barrel here (that originally came off it) so that’s what it’ll become.

Maybe, but probably not. I was using 88gr ELD-M and probably the only reasonable change to make would be the 80 ELD-X - but I’m not sure that a decrease in sectional density to gain a slight increase...

2209 is really a bit on the quick side for optimal performance. 2213 would be a good choice, I’m using IMR7828ssc in mine. Something in the region of 42.3gr with 88’s

Tahr I’d be interested in your thoughts after you have some data with the cartridge. I’ve found that animals go down quicker on the long shots than the close ones. Seems counterintuitive, but also...

Tahr my 22 CM has a Hardy barrel and it goes great. Ian is a huge 22CM fan, so if you start the conversation with him, you’re basically doomed!

buzzman if you had a 20” 308 and a 20” 30/06 side by side (and loaded to equal pressure) the 30/06 will win the velocity contest every day. It won’t win an efficiency competition at short lengths,...
