Thread: How to get fast twist barrels in NZ

Personally I think if I was to build another subsonic rifle Id lean toward one of @Kiwi Gregs 8.6x47 Lapua's.
Much better brass and the flexibility to load viable high velocity lighter bullet loads for longer shots if needed.
Not sure if the 1-8" .338 Shilen barrels are still available but that would be my first choice, or a 1-9" true flight would be fine in that.
Do you have the chamber reamer for that one Greg or was it just a 6.5x47 lap followed up with a .338 N&T reamer?
I considered a 6mm Norma Dasher necked to .338 with its slightly longer brass and 40 deg shoulder compared to the shorter the 6BR with the 30deg but I think this 8.6x47 Lap will make the most of a short action and multi purpose loadings.
