Been inactive a long time need help now

[6mmPPC]

I did local benchrest for years, now want to enter in 1000yd. have a Zavasta Mauser 98 in458win. Would like to rebarrel to 28 Nosler seem to least financially pressing. any suggestions.

What's the question?

The answer is probably don't bother outside of ELR hunting or competition.

Nothing about the 28 Nosler is cheap either. A smith is going to have to turn the barrel for you and you're going to have to replace it awfully soon. I'm gonna assume you're looking to shoot long heavies, which means COAL is going to be a problem and you're going to be into this project for a lot more than just the barrel, too. Powder might be an issue as well.

I should get at least 1000 or 1200 rounds from the barrel

I should get at least 1000 or 1200 rounds from the barrel

That’s optimistic.
