Building a 450 BM bolt gun
Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2018 8:59 pm
Hello
I'm looking for information, suggestions on building a 450 BM bolt action for deer hunting here in Ohio.
I'm thinking of using a Stiller Predator short action I have along with a McMillan Remington Hunter stock with HS Precision DBM.
The stock was inletted for the Stiller action and a #5 contour Pacnor barrel, so a couple of questions on barrel length and twist.
What is the optimum twist for 250 gr bullets and barrel length, I'm thinking 18 twist and 18-20" barrel.
Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated thanks
