Hello,
I'm getting ready to rebarrel a Savage LRPV from 204R to 223Rem. I need some expert advice on two things.
First, What would be the best barrel length so as to not be way too long as I will be putting a heavy straight taper barrel with a muzzle dia of 1", yet still let me set it back and rechamber after I wear out the throat.
Second, What twist? My range is limited to 300 yds and all this rifle does it punch paper, so I see no need to try shooting anything much heavier than 75-80 gns, probably mostly will be shooting 68 or 69 gn, but want to occasionally experiment with heavier stuff.. What would be the fastest twist that would properly stabilize an 80 gr bullet at 223R velocities?
Thanks for the input
