I am wanting to build a somewhat lightweight short action 7 saum for primarily a hunting rifle. Plan to use a Manners LRH CF stock, Impact 737 short action, Hawkins hunter bottom metal and magazine, triggertech diamond with either an ATACR or TT optic. I am torn on the barrel between a Bartlein and Proof CF barrel. Probably going to do a 22” barrel because I will be running a Scythe suppressor on it 100% of the time. What twist do most recommend? Im thinking for bullets, pretty much anything from a 162 to a 180, not sure I can get a 190 in a mag in short action. I will be using ADG brass and I have several powders I can try, including RL26. What reamer/ freebore would be recommended? Everything I have read says to go with the .090” freebore. Any recommendations for changes in any of this?

Maybe this will help un tear you on the barrel.
I’ve been watching this barrel, better beat me to it.
