I see that the difference may minimal for the effort of improving. I figured why not go all in if dropping more than 4 or 5 hundred bucks on a barrel. I don't think going past 88 ELDs will gain anything more than a fussy cartridge. Most likely 80-85 or 88 with 7 or 7.5 twist.
After having my ARC barrel cut and I was forming new brass for it I had a thought that brought this on mostly. Another possibility for die simplicity also is to do a 22 ARC and retain the long neck (or more of it) after resizing to have more leeway in seating bullets. This is something that bothers me with the SAAMI 6ARC chamber.
I had to extend my freebore to .110 and still only have about a .025 jump window before getting real deep in the shoulder/neck area. I'd really like that freedom of seating depth.
This is also a bolt rifle which I'm not positive I was too clear on. Archimedes action, 26"Proof barrel spun by Fisher T&C in a Xylo chassis.
