I am thinking about a 7X30 Waters ,out of a 223 barrel, any thoughts.   Doug

I always have admired this round...and have wanted one ever since I saw a limited Winchester XTR with a 26" octagon barrel in it...

Mac, me to I am looking for a level of performance ie; 120 gr NoslerBT @ 2800fps.I have a real bad right shoulder and cannot take much more than 11fp of recoil energy and this  load out of a Handi is right at that.
Plus with the high BC of the Nosler(.417) it can be a honest 300 yd gun.I never plan on shooting,that far, but the best laid plans and all of that    Doug

I have been absent from this board almost since it moved from the H & R/NEF site.  Man am I behind the times.

Wondering about the octagon profile several of you mentioned here.  Was this done by a smith or did you just have at it with a file. Was it straight or tapered? I have done that in the past on ML bls...

The 223 barrel is en route to Wayne's so he can work his magic,ie 223 to 7x30 Waters.He thinks turnaround time @ 16 weeks,that would be Apr 1 2008.I can wait but not very well. ::)  Doug
