Bryan, I talked to pac-nor and it looks like mine is .236". as I am somewhat new to this game I do not know if this would be deemed "tight". what is the usual diameter for a 6mm? Tye

Mike, I found some WS2 but it comes in different micron sizes. 0.4 to 1.0 Micron. what stuff do you recommend. Thanks for the heads up. Bryan, That is an interesting fact. Will I be able to measure that with my dial calipers or would that take more precise tools? Thanks for the help...

looks like some moly is in my future. Thanks for the advice guys.

Mike, Thanks for the numbers this really gives me an idea of where my ceiling is. I wish I had this info before i bought a barrel. oh well this is how we learn. Jamie, I have cleaned with sweets. this barrel actually holds very little copper. I have not used moly. I did not think it...

Kevin, I have been looking at the shilen rachet rifling a little bit lately. but have not come to any conclusions. I was hoping someone might have had experience with the differences in rifling geometry. Tye

Kevin, Thanks that is the best explination that I have heard. it all makes sense now! it is very frustrating especially when you hear of other people not having any issues and running 1 in 6 twists. not sure if this may add to the problem but it is a 6 groove barrel. would a 4 groove be...

I have been having a perplexing problem with my 6mm-284. the barrel is a pac-nor 7 twist. The problem is that the bullets are coming apart in midair about 50 to 100 yards from the muzzle. however not all the bullets come apart. it seems that after the barrel warms up with 10 or so rounds...

I was about a month or so too late trying to get the 7mm 200gr last year so i have not been able to try any yet. what BC were you guys experiencing? I will be running them in a 7 STW and i am thinking they will be just shy of 3000 fps. so I expect that I will experiance a slightly less BC than...

Blacktail, running 160's to 3200 depends on how hard you want to push it. I Have done it in my STW. they were very toasty loads. but it is definately doable. Gritt and SS7mm Do you guys think that the STW has enough jam to see a benifit to the 200gr bullet? or would the 180's be about...

I am in a similar situation to you. i shoot a 7mm STW and until now i have shot partitions, barnes and A-frames to 450. all were devistating on game. this year i plan to stretch it out a little more 600+. i will be trying the Berger 180 and the Wildcat 200 if i can get my hands on some...
