I agree with taylorce1; get a 1:9 twist barrel about 24 inches or maybe longer, then you can use the Matrix VLDs for your LR work, use the 180g Woodleighs for big grumpy game at close or mid range, and still get factory ammo anywhere in a variety of styles should you ever need to.

And if you tire of the combo, I am sure a 1:9 .277 barrel wouldn't be too hard to offload as long as its not worn out.

Good luck!
