I looked, and the .264 win mag wins the velocity, so that's what I'm looking at now. So if I buy a model in a 7mm magnum or 300 win mag, all I have to do is buy a barrel? Nosler has great loads for it, so I won't have to reload. All I need to find out now is which manufacturer to do this with and how to get the barrel, and how much it'll cost. thanks for all the info and filling me in, bea175, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowingsmilie.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif I know what I need to know!
