The barrel is long gone now but Berger gave me a 3.340 OAL from my notes. I think I ended up starting at .060 off never adjusted for the entire 500 pack. Berger stated 2698fps and 2862fps But I remember it was over 3000. I think it was actually pushing 3100fps. I had a 27in Krieger barrel 1-10...

I got a good deal on 500 of them a few years back and called Berger for load data. At the time they told me 72-76g of H1000. I think I ended up a few grains over for my personal rifle. Use this at your own risk. I had good results and even shot a long range steel match with them.

So I should clarify when the sporter worked, it worked fine never missed a shot. At the end I was getting weird spreads. My 6 dasher is a consistent 20fps or less standard deviations. It was telling me 200fps spreads. So one day we compared 3 Chronos at the range we strapped the Sporter to 3...

My sporter just stopped working customer service has not been good. They basically tell you you shot it is the answer for everything. So I started looking around to see what was out there. It is only 2yrs old with not much use. So I just bought the Caldwell basic model. It has all the...

I bought 2 because they were in stock and the contour and twist was what I needed. Load development was much more difficult and they have been harder to keep in tune then my Bart and Krieger barrels. They were priced less then the other cut rifle barrels.

I will Pm you.

I respond with facts only. My last savage came out of the box with cracked bolt face. Sent it back Savage repaired it and all costs were covered. About 6months into it and 2-300 rounds into it the firing pin spring broke. No warranty just bought the part and made the repair myself. Sold the gun...

To be honest I am pretty much Bartlein at this time for my personal rifles. Availability, cost, lead times all play a role. I ended up with the Brux because I was building the 22-250 for a friend and it was the only one we could fine in 12 twist everyone one else was 7 or 8 twist and he wanted...

I don't think so I got 2 of them over the summer one for 22-250 and one for 6gt. I will say they were not the easiest to find a load for. The did come from Bugholes and could have been stock though.

I had saw that article and some of his follow up articles your are correct things are changing very fast in this industry. To be honest I was just replying because I need 10 post to reply to something in the for sale section. I figured this was the best thread to jump into because I was asked to...

Do you think it has to do with availability? I use Bartlein because I can get them in 3 days in almost any contour and twist I need. They also are good shooting barrels and have not had a bad one yet. Proof research is for the most part available for $30 less. I've never used one though because...

Well lets be honest no body on that PRS list bought their barrel and I seriously doubt any of them are CFW. I'm not saying Proof is not good just that PRS is by no means a standard for quality.

If this is for a hunting rifle are you going to be able to find a stock that is somewhat light and has a M24 contour channel. I got my first M24 SS barrel this year and decided it was way to heavy even for competition. It also took a good bit of stock work to get it in a target stock. Sendero or...

I don't think you get more for your money then the SIII. I bought a Zeiss V4 and vortex PST2. The SIII is so much clearer and lets in a lot more light in low light conditions. I have no experience with the lower end models through.

I was torn when I built my 300 win mag on a model 70 action trying to keep it light. I ended up with a Bartlein 2b finished at 26in. will shoot one hole 3 shot groups at 100yds. Shoots sub minute out to 700 which is the farthest I have shot it. Hang the 16oz suppressor on it and it has a -1.75...
