You guys have to keep in mind... just because you don't see pressure signs on the brass or heavy bolt lift etc... doesn't mean that your ammo isn't over pressure! Ammo can easily go over pressure and you not see the signs any where. I won't say the caliber but this is a good example. I was...

That guys 308win gun I listed above... forgot to mention... it would headspace but still wouldn't always chamber box ammo. Some ammo did and some didn't. So yes, you can take a roughing reamer and chamber a barrel and make it headspace but that doesn't mean it's right. Not the first time I've...

You have min spec reamers/chambers, what guys call match spec chambers and I use this phrase loosely, and you have what is called production spec chambers. A gun manufacturer can make the chambers to Saami min spec, or they can use what is called production spec. and that is up to their...

Hornady does make ammo for the 9.3x62. We've made them test barrels a few times for that caliber. Along with Norma. Later, Frank Bartlein Barrels

Not happening! LOL!

You tell me! My guess is the guy that dreamed it up... it was his brain child so he had to put a name on it. It also confuses shooters as well. They think they are loading +P ammo but that's not the case. This isn't the same as +P pistol ammo. The +P pistol ammo is loaded to a higher pressure...

If I did videos on youtube about stuff like this.... I've got a lot of material to use! LOL!

742's? You all do know that Remington had a recall, or I should say not an official recall on 740 and 742 series of rifles back in the late 80's or early 90's. You sent the rifle in, and you got a voucher for x amount of $ towards a new Remington rifle. The problem was the bolts could jump...

So, I'm throwing this out here and I'm going to be very blunt about it and I also posted this on Snipers Hide and Accurate Shooter. Here is my stance on +P chamber throats. You're cutting away the height of the lands as well as making the throat longer (as much as another .750" from what we've...

Use what works the best. In my 300PRC F Open gun. I originally started with Fed210M primers. I switched on a recommendation from Dave in the shop to try CCI200's as that's what he was using in his 300WM. My SD's and ES numbers dropped quite a bit going to the CCI200's. and I'm running 76gr of...

LOL! The shown name is Tracy but it's me doing the post. Later, Frank Bartlein Barrels

That’s the key word right there.

I haven't read the whole thread so bear with me......It's not just powder guys.... as the saying goes.... Bullets, powder, barrel....these three things more than anything else have to work together. I won't name the bullet makers...but a couple hold they're bullet diameter tolerances (I'm...

Look at 7mm Rem. Mag. That caliber alone in a pressure test barrel only makes it about 800ish rounds for barrel life before pressures and velocities take a big swing. Then they have to junk the barrel. Any of the 7mags if your going to run it as a F class type gun etc...and like the test...

Just as a fyi to anyone following/reading this thread. I've told the guys in the office here....that we will not chamber/install any barrel for a customer in this caliber. I will not warranty any barrel from copper fouling, accuracy, safety etc.... Anyone installing one of our .270cal...
