I want to get a barrel for my .30-06. I currently have the 22" barrel it came with (1 in 10?). I would like to shoot heavier bullets (like Berger 185grn VLDs). I am kicking around making it AI but I am not sure if I want to fire form brass. So my question to you all is what would be optimal length (??26"??), barrel type and twist, rifling etc. It's for hunting (I don't mind carrying a little more weight). All input would be appreciated.
thanks,
Chris
