gottcha, so would you guys go for what seems to be the standard .200" lug or something larger, .250", .300"? I'm changing out the barrel anyway so want to upgrade, and a new lug is not much$.

it's going to be a .264Win mag, shouldn't have too terrible of recoil and will be basically a heavy sporter with a McGowen barrel.
