300SMK, 300 Lapua so far,260 Glenhill cast on hand in quantity but thanks. All three went very sub MOA in the rifles I've built. I am surprised that an 8 twist stabilizes the 300's @ your elevation (atmospheric density) as both JDJ and the Engineers at Berger told me to use at least 7.

I've been going with a 6.5 twist x 16.5 barrel in anticipation of shooting Lehighs lathe turned 338 and Hornady is about to give 338 shooters a nice surprise from what I'm told.
The lathe turned bullets make the subsonics really shine over distance if my other rifles are any indication.

Mad Rabbit it seems your thread is getting hijacked, sorry.
Where in CO are you?
