Recently had my Remington 700 in .22-.250 rebarreled to 7mm-08. Purchased new barrel on E-bay and sold old barrel there also. Loaded once fired cases with 11 grains of 5744. very pleased with the results behind a 120 grain GC bullet from old Lyman Ideal mould. Total cost around $100.00. My old eyes can see the bigger holes much better. A Happy reloader!!
