A novice here needs advice—thanks in advance.

I am turning my factory 270 wsm into a 7mm wsm. I am not sure from which company to buy the barrel from and was looking for advice because this will be my first custom barrel. It will be used for hunting and I think I will go probably 1:8.5 to 1:9 twist, 22 inch heavy contour.

A couple of very opinionated experts at the range would not shoot anything but Krieger barrels, others Lilja. This will be for hunting and would like to be able to shoot it accurately in the field to 600 yards(thats the length of our range and I can get in plenty of practice).


Again, would love advice because I am not an expert nor did I sleep in a Holiday Inn Express..
