I have decided I need a .35 whelen barrel for my Rem 700 switch barrel
I have ordered a few Lee moulds (to begin with; c358-200, 358-158-RF (like the looks), and 358-140-SWC (just curious)). I’m planning to get the MP 220 grs bullet. And maybe a 270grs something from accurate in the future, to make it a proper «weapon of moose destruction»
What I’m pondering, is what rate of twist to choose. The barrel will be made from scratch by my gunsmith. I’m leaning towards 1:14, but I’m on a little thin ice, here. Do you have any thoughts?
