Good morning! I am brand new to the board. I am primarily a varmint and target shooter. I recently purchased a rifle which was built by the late Art Freund. It is a .244 improved built on a Ruger varmint platform, red pad and tang safety. The rifle has a custom trigger, custom stainless barrel (marked only 244) which has been glass bedded and free floated. The barrel is a medium heavy contour and has a concave muzzle. It looks brand new and may have been fired 5 or 10 times. It has a varmint profile but was built by a benchrest shooter and gunsmith!
When cleaning last night, I was able to determine it has a 1 in 8 inch twist. I also could not fit a .243 bore brush down the tube. I found it interesting that the rifle has a 1980's serial number and the barrel is marked 244, well past the time that the 244 had been redesignated as the 6mm.
I felt I should turn to you guys on this rifle for recommended loads, forming brass, and any other tips with this caliber and set up. Thanks!
